Abstract
Recently, a technique for rapidly determining a material’s fatigue limit by measuring energy dissipation using infrared thermography has received increasing interest. Measuring the energy dissipation of a material under fatigue loading allows the rapid determination of a stress level that empirically coincides with its fatigue limit. To clarify the physical implications of the rapid fatigue limit determination, the relationship between energy dissipation and fatigue damage initiation process was investigated. To discuss the fatigue damage initiation process at grain size scale, we performed high-spatial-resolution dissipated energy measurements on type 316L austenitic stainless steel, and observed the slip bands on the same side of the specimen. The preprocessing of dissipated energy measurement such as motion compensation and a smoothing filter was applied. It was found that the distribution of dissipated energy obtained by improved spatial resolution measurement pinpointed the location of fatigue crack initiation. Owing to the positive correlation between the magnitude of dissipated energy and number of slip bands, it was suggested that the dissipated energy was associated with the behavior of slip bands, with regions of high dissipated energy predicting the location of fatigue crack initiation.

Introduction
Knowing the fatigue limit of a material is indispensable in structural design; however, its determination by conventional fatigue testing is a time-consuming and costly process. For this reason, studies on the rapid determination of fatigue limit by observing temperature changes have been conducted since the beginning of the 20th century for various materials, structures, and fatigue types [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24]. Fatigue damage causes local plasticity, which leads to irreversible energy dissipation in the form of heat. In recent years, 2f lock-in thermography has received increasing interest on account of the improved performance of infrared cameras [17]. This technique utilizes the specific temperature increase due to plastic deformation by analyzing the measured temperature signals in a frequency domain [25]. Using two-dimensional thermal images of this specific temperature increase during frequency analysis, a considerable part of fatigue damage can be visualized in the form of hot spots. Hence, the 2f lock-in thermography has the potential to accurately assess the location of fatigue failure [4, 10] as well as the fatigue limit [4,5,6,7,8, 10, 17, 18]. However, although the determined stress level empirically coincides with the fatigue limit of the tested material, the physical implications and validity of the stress level determined in this manner have not been sufficiently clarified [3, 26]. Hence, it is necessary to investigate the mechanism of energy dissipation in relation to fatigue damage, and to discuss a physical model for the rapid fatigue limit determination. This will improve the reliability of this technique and promote its use in industry.
Various researchers have attempted to understand the mechanism of energy dissipation under fatigue loading. Yang et al. [27], Jiang et al. [28], and Ly et al. [29] simulated the temperature increase due to dissipated energy based on plastic strain energy. Boulanger et al. [30], Morabito et al. [31], and Berthel et al. [32] also calculated the heat caused by irreversible energy dissipation via calorimetric analyses. Bodelot et al. [33] and Wang et al. [34] attempted to relate the material deformation behaviors and temperature on the microstructure scale under tensile loading. Bodelot et al. [35] further attempted to relate them at the grain scale under cyclic loading. In the work of Cugy et al. [36], the number of slip bands observed on the specimen surface was found to correlate with the average temperature increase caused by energy dissipation for a low carbon steel. In the work of Wang et al. [37], the relationship between energy dissipation and slip bands was also investigated for an Armco iron. In the works of the author group [38, 39], the growth of slip bands on the specimen surface was observed using atomic force microscopy (AFM) along with dissipated energy measurements for type 316L austenitic stainless steel. The number of slip bands, slip distance, and width of slip bands were further evaluated in relation to dissipated energy. However, limitations of the utilized measurement systems meant that these researchers investigated the behavior of slip bands and dissipated energy in different spatial resolutions, in addition to on different sides of the specimen (e.g., the temperature increase was averaged over the entire specimen, and/or the growth of slip bands was investigated on the reverse side to dissipated energy measurements).
Consequently, to relate these two parameters directly, their evaluation must be performed in the same region and on the same scale. In this study, dissipated energy measurements were conducted with high spatial resolution on the same side of the specimen as slip band observations. Moreover, the relationship between the dissipated energy and slip bands was quantitatively evaluated.
Temperature Changes Due to Thermoelastic Effect and Dissipated Energy
A reversible temperature change is observed for a specimen subjected to cyclic loading. In adiabatic conditions, the well-known thermoelastic effect is observed, where a decrease in temperature is observed under tensile loading, and an increase in temperature is observed under compressive loading.
However, an increase in temperature due to irreversible energy dissipation is observed in addition to the reversible temperature change due to the thermoelastic effect. This temperature increase is caused by local plastic deformation, and occurs significantly at the maximum tensile and compressive loadings [25, 40]. Under sinusoidal tensile and compressive loadings, i.e., the dash-dotted line in Fig. 1 (a), the temperature changes due to the thermoelastic effect (TE) and dissipated energy (TD) are schematically shown as solid and broken lines in Fig. 1 (b), respectively [17]. As the significant increase in temperature due to dissipated energy occurs twice during one loading cycle, the frequency of the related temperature component is two times greater than that of the loading frequency. In this study, a time-series temperature change of the specimen surface, measured by infrared thermography, was analyzed in the frequency domain. The range of temperature change due to dissipated energy (ΔTD) can be obtained as a temperature component with a frequency twice as high as that of the load signal by the lock-in algorithm [17, 25] using eq. (1).
Where N is the total processing frame number, t is the frame number, T is the time-series temperature change, ω is the angular frequency of the load signal, and frate is the frame rate.
Irreversible heat generation is a part of energy dissipation. Since ΔTD is the same as irreversible heat generation, ΔTD is defined as dissipated energy.
Experimental Conditions
Specimen
A type of 316L austenitic stainless steel (SUS316L) plate with the chemical composition given in Table 1 was subjected to solution heat treatment. The mechanical properties of the heat-treated material (listed in Table 2) were obtained from tensile testing in accordance with JIS Z 2241:2011 “Metallic materials—Tensile testing—Method of test at room temperature.” A typical micrograph of the heat-treated material is shown in Fig. 2. The average grain size was determined as 123 μm, in accordance with JIS G 0551:2005 “Steels—Micrographic determination of the apparent grain size.” The specimen employed in fatigue testing was fabricated to the geometry shown in Fig. 3 after solution heat treatment. This specimen geometry is almost the same as in Refs. [7, 17].
The faces and neck of the specimen employed in fatigue testing were polished with several grades of emery papers up to #1500 and then buffed. To remove the work hardened layer generated by polishing, an electro-polishing process was applied using a solution of phosphoric acid and ethanol in a ratio of 7: 3.
Experimental Setup
Schematic illustrations of the experimental setup and measurement areas of an infrared camera (FLIR Systems, Inc., SC7300L) and strain gauge are shown in Fig. 4. The time-series temperature change of the specimen surface subjected to cyclic loading was measured at room temperature using the infrared camera (Fig. 4 (a)). The surface of the specimen was coated with a flat paint to improve its thermal emissivity (Fig. 4 (b)). Some portions of the paint were removed to create markers for the purpose of motion compensation preprocessing (described in section Motion Compensation and Smoothing Filter). The specifications of the infrared camera used in this study are listed in Table 3. The field of view was adjusted to cover the narrowest portion of the specimen. A close-up lens was attached to the infrared camera, giving a spatial resolution for infrared thermography of approximately 38 μm per pixel. This spatial resolution is sufficiently smaller than that of the average grain size of the material after solution heat treatment (123 μm, shown in Fig. 2). The frame rate and recording time were set to 211 Hz and 10 s, respectively, giving the time-series temperature change of the specimen surface over 2110 frames. The value of dissipated energy was calculated from the acquired frames using the procedure described in section Temperature Changes Due to Thermoelastic Effect and Dissipated Energy. The strain was measured on the opposite side of the specimen to the temperature measurement using a strain gauge with a gauge length of 1 mm, as shown in Fig. 4 (c). The plastic strain energy was calculated from an area of hysteresis loop obtained from the strain gauge and load cell signals.
Testing Conditions
Fully reversed cyclic axis loading (stress ratio: R = −1) was applied to the specimen using an electrohydraulic fatigue testing machine with a loading capacity of ±50 kN (Saginomiya Seisakusho, Inc., FT-5). The waveform and frequency of the loading were set to sinusoidal and 5 Hz, respectively. The applied stress amplitude (σa) was increased in steps, which is known as “staircase-like” stress level testing [17]. At each step, 1150 loading cycles shown in Fig. 5 were applied to the specimen. The temperature and strain at each stress amplitude were measured after every 1000 cycles.
Motion Compensation and Smoothing Filter
To appropriately measure the temperature of the specimens under loading, motion compensation was performed on the acquired time-series temperature images before the calculation of dissipated energy, to allow the displacement of the target specimen to be followed. A block matching algorithm with a sum of squared difference (SSD) criterion was utilized. The minimization of SSD criterion by parabola fitting [41] yielded displacement compensation of the target specimen in subpixel units. To further enhance the image detection, a smoothing filter with a 3 × 3 square kernel was applied to each frame prior to the motion compensation.
Results and Discussion
Effect of Image Preprocessing on Dissipated Energy Measurements
During the staircase-like stress level test (ranging from σa = 10 to 250 MPa with a constant increment of σa = 10 MPa), the dissipated energy and plastic strain energy at each stress amplitude were measured and plotted against the applied stress amplitude. The change in dissipated energy is shown in Fig. 6. Figure 6 also demonstrates the effect of image preprocessing consisting of the motion compensation and smoothing filter. The dissipated energy was taken as the average value of a 1.0 mm (L) × 1.1 mm (W) area at the center of the specimen. Without preprocessing, the dissipated energy was observed to increase gradually as the stress amplitude increased, beginning from a low stress amplitude. On the other hand, with preprocessing, the dissipated energy was observed to be almost constant at a low stress amplitude, until it showed a significant increase at around σa = 200 MPa. The change in plastic strain energy during the same test is shown in Fig. 7. By comparing Figs. 6 and 7, it can be seen that the change in plastic strain energy is similar to the change in dissipated energy with preprocessing. Indeed, the dissipated energy measured for type 316L austenitic stainless steel specimen exhibits a strong correlation with the plastic strain energy [7]. However, the values of dissipated energy without preprocessing are far higher than those with preprocessing. It was considered that this “fake” temperature change due to displacement of the specimen could be measured to obtain the “fake” dissipated energy. The actual value of dissipated energy can be obtained by preprocessing the images with motion compensation and a smoothing filter.
The effect of preprocessing on the measured distribution of dissipated energy is shown in Fig. 8. Without preprocessing, the values of dissipated energy were randomly distributed on the specimen surface (Fig. 8 (a)). On the other hand, with motion compensation, the dissipated energy values were smaller (Fig. 8 (b)), although with higher values around the notch root of the specimen. Furthermore, when both the motion compensation and smoothing filter were applied, several hot spots with significantly high dissipated energy values were clearly observed around the notch root (Fig. 8 (c)). After the measurement of dissipated energy shown in Fig. 8, the same stress amplitude was applied to the specimen to confirm the location of the fatigue failure. The number of cycles to failure of this specimen was Nf = 1.02 × 104 cycles. The surface temperature distribution at N = 1.0 × 104 cycles is shown in Fig. 9. The main crack initiation was observed at the left-side notch root, with a second crack initiation at the right-side notch root. By comparing Figs. 8 (c) and 9, it was found that the hot spot sites with significantly high values of dissipated energy were in favorable agreement with the fatigue crack initiation locations. Consequently, the location of fatigue crack initiation can be accurately assessed by measuring the dissipated energy with high spatial resolution, assuming suitable image preprocessing is performed.
Relationship between Dissipated Energy and Slip Bands
The activity of slip bands results in fatigue crack initiation. The number of slip bands can be considered to show the activity of slip bands in the measured area. In this section, the relationship between dissipated energy and slip bands during staircase-like stress level testing was investigated. After the staircase-like stress level test (ranging from σa = 150 to 240 MPa with a constant increment of σa = 10 MPa), the specimen was removed from the fatigue testing machine. The paint that was coated on the specimen surface was removed, and then the slip bands were observed using a digital microscope (Hirox Co., Ltd., KH-1300), on the same side of the specimen as the dissipated energy measurement. As in Fig. 6, a similar change in dissipated energy with increasing stress amplitude was also confirmed in this section. The distribution of dissipated energy at σa = 240 MPa and an optical image of the slip bands on the specimen surface are shown in Figs. 10 and 11, respectively. The preprocessing described in section Motion Compensation and Smoothing Filter was applied prior to the dissipated energy measurement. As shown in Fig. 10, two hot spots with significantly high dissipated energy values were confirmed at the right-side notch root. As shown in Fig. 11, numerous slip bands were observed on the specimen surface, with more slip bands at the right-side notch root than the left-side notch root.
To quantitatively evaluate the distribution of slip bands on the specimen surface, the number of slip bands in a certain area was counted by the following procedure. First, morphological image processing was applied to the original optical image of the specimen surface using commercially available image processing software (Matrox Electronic Systems Ltd., Inspector 9.0). The roughness, such as slip bands and scratches, were removed from the original image in this processing to form a background image, as shown in Fig. 12. The original image was then subtracted from the background image to obtain an image of the surface roughness, in which the slip bands are emphasized. Binarization processing was then applied to obtain the distribution of slip bands, as shown in Fig. 13. The threshold value in this binarization processing was set to be the brightness value of the scratches caused by polishing.
As an example, the original optical image and binary image of the slip bands in the area enclosed by the red rectangle in Fig. 13 are enlarged in Fig. 14; it was confirmed that the slip bands were suitably selected as the bright part.
To quantitatively evaluate the relationship between dissipated energy and slip bands, the notched area was divided into 96 evaluation elements, each with a square area of 0.6 × 0.6 mm, as shown schematically in Fig. 15. Since the measured values of dissipated energy around the edge of the specimen were significantly influenced by various phenomena such as the edge effect, heat conduction, and convection, the evaluation area was set 0.4 mm inside the notch root. The relative area occupied by slip bands inside an element was defined as the slip-band-area ratio. The average value of dissipated energy determined for each element is plotted against the slip-band-area ratio in Fig. 16 (here, the solid line indicates the fitting line characterizing the relationship between these two parameters that was obtained by the least squares method). Hence, the dissipated energy correlated with the slip-band-area ratio, with a correlation coefficient of 0.789. This correlation was confirmed with a total of three specimens including a qualitative evaluation. It was found that the magnitude of dissipated energy corresponded to the number of slip bands, which is related to slip band activity during cyclic loading. Indeed, crack initiation is also related to the behavior of slip bands [42]. Thus, it is considered that hot spots in the dissipated energy distribution indicate the active behavior of slip bands, which is related to the future crack initiation.
Conclusions
In this study, dissipated energy measurements with high spatial resolution were performed alongside slip bands observations for type 316L austenitic stainless steel under fatigue loading. Notably, the analyses were performed on the same side of the specimen, allowing quantitative evaluation of the relationship between dissipated energy and slip bands in the same region and on the same scale. Following preprocessing of the time-series temperature change images using motion compensation and a smoothing filter, it was found that the change in plastic strain energy was similar to the change in dissipated energy. Moreover, the locations of fatigue crack initiation were accurately assessed from the distribution of dissipated energy. The slip bands were quantitatively evaluated by applying morphological image processing to the original optical image of slip bands on the specimen surface taken using a digital microscope. Owing to the positive correlation between the magnitude of dissipated energy and number of slip bands in a given area, it was suggested that regions of high dissipated energy were related to the active behavior of slip bands. Therefore, such regions could be used to predict the location of fatigue crack initiation.
