A new non-contact, full-field, stress analysis technique based on the measurement of the intensity of infra-red radiation emitted from the surface of a cyclically loaded body is applied to series of metallic specimens (including beams in bending, the ‘Brazilian’ disc, and a simple pure-shear testpiece) and critically appraised.
