Abstract

An enhanced theory for Thermographic Stress Analysis of isotropic materials is developed. This theory encompasses nonlinear thermoelastic, thermoplastic and specimen motion effects. With this theory, several new applications for Thermographic Stress Analysis are possible including cyclic plasticity analysis, high-temperature stress analysis, and residual stress analysis. Examples of each of these applications are presented.
