Thermoelastic stress analysis (TSA) is a non-contact technique for measuring the distribution of stress in the surface of a component subject to cyclic loading by using a sensitive infrared camera. The stress concentrations indicative of a crack can be located and tracked using an optical flow method, allowing the position of the crack-tip to be identified at a given time. Acoustic emission (AE) has been used to validate the TSA algorithm. AE events from cracking, located using the Delta-T Mapping method, were detected several seconds before the TSA algorithm first detected cracking; however, TSA provided significantly more accurate location information.

A novel methodology simultaneously combining thermoelastic stress analysis (TSA) and digital image correlation (DIC) with a single infrared camera is presented. DIC is an optical method to determine deformation by image tracking with strains determined via differentiation. TSA is a non-contact measurement technique that provides the full-field stress directly using measured temperature changes. The combination of the two techniques improves the resolution and accuracy of TSA results by correcting for sample motion and distortion during loading. Illustrative examples, including an aluminium alloy plate with an edge crack and a nylon plate with a hole under tension, demonstrate the combined method which simultaneously measures stress and displacement.

On the infrared thermography image, a false temperature change caused by the relative displacement between moving object and infrared camera is obtained. This paper shows the motion compensation system with the infrared-optical synchronous measurement. Displacement information of the specimen is calculated from the series of visible light image using the digital image correlation method (DIC). The displacement information on the visible image is reflected to the infrared image by the homography transformation. The random white pattern which can’t be detected by the infrared camera was drawn on the measured surface for DIC process. The developed motion compensation system was applied to the thermoelastic stress analysis and dissipated energy measurement. It was confirmed that a false temperature change and edge effect can be removed by using developed motion compensation system.

The thermoelastic stress inspecting stress concentration was simulated using element plane223 of software ANSYS, comparing the result of simulation analysis and theory calculation, the simulation results of temperature and stress are precise extremely when the specimen is loaded sinusoidal load; the temperature changes of the right node in hole border is 0.305°C and the temperature changes of the bottom node in hole border is 0.098°C, the simulation results error comparing to the theory value are respectively 0.33% and 3.92%,which meets the real need. The temperature change value can be inspected with regular infrared camera, it will be a reliable method for inspecting and locating cracks in steel bridges.
