Effect of the Frequency of the Cyclic Load to the Inverse Analyses of the Heat Conduction in Infrared Thermography

Influence of the frequency to the temperature image obtained by an infrared thermography was investigated using specimens of three kinds of materials at four kinds of frequencies of the cyclic load. Then, the infrared hybrid method was developed to separate individual stress components. However, the influence of heat conduction is inevitable in the infrared stress measurement method. Therefore, an error arises in the infrared hybrid analysis. Then, the system which corrects the error by the inverse analysis was developed. Thereby, the accuracy of the stress intensity factor was able to be raised. Furthermore, the accuracy of hybrid method considering to heat conduction was discussed in comparison with the 3-D finite element analysis and 2-D hybrid method.
