Experimental estimation of the heat energy dissipated in a volume surrounding the tip of a fatigue crack

Fatigue crack initiation and propagation involve plastic strains that require some work to be done on the material. Most of this irreversible energy is dissipated as heat and consequently the material temperature increases. The heat being an indicator of the intense plastic strains occurring at th...
