Thermoelastic stress analysis (TSA) is now a well-known experimental technique providing information on the surface stress field in structures. Many studies have assessed the potential of the technique for a number of applications and some useful and detailed reviews of these investigations are available, focusing mainly on the experimental aspects related to the measurement of the thermoelastic signal. In this work, instead, a complete and detailed insight into the origins of the various forms of the equations describing the thermoelastic effect is given with reference to the concepts of the thermodynamic theory of a continuum. A discussion on the theory leading to the thermoelastic effect law is intended to give a useful overview of the applications and real limitations of TSA.

The automotive industry's use of structural composite materials began in the 1950s. Since those early days, it has been demonstrated that composites are lightweight, fatigue resistant and easily moulded to shape ? in other words, a seemingly attractive alternative to metals. However, there has been no widespread switch from metals to composites in the automotive sector. This is because there are a number of technical issues relating to the use of composite materials that still need to be resolved including accurate material characterisation, manufacturing and joining. This paper reports the findings of a recent European initiative that examined the future use of composite materials in the automotive sector. The principal technical challenges that must be overcome in ten key areas relating to composite usage are reviewed. Furthermore, recommendations for future research priorities to overcome these challenges are presented.
About Me
Giuseppe Pitarresi is a Full Professor in Machine Design at the Department of Engineering, University of Palermo (Italy). He completed his PhD in Experimental Stress Analysis in 2002. He spent four years at the University of Sheffield as a research associate before gaining a permanent research position at the University of Palermo in 2005. He is currently serving as an associate editor for the journal Experimental Techniques and has been appointed chair of the 22nd International Conference on Experimental Mechanics (ICEM 22, July 2027, Palermo, IT). He is also serving as the Italian coordinator of the Technical Committee MEAS (Metodi Energetici di Analisi Strutturale). His research interests include Thermal Methods of Structural Analysis, Experimental Stress Analysis Techniques, Thermoelastic Stress Analysis, Digital Image Correlation, Infrared-NDT and Structural Health Monitoring, Mechanics of Composite Materials, and Fracture and Fatigue Damage Mechanics.
