Summary: A new fatigue limit determination method based on thermographic data is proposed in this paper to overcome the limitations of Risitano and Luong's method. The fatigue limit is defined as the maximum stress corresponding to the peak value of the angle change normalized by its amplitude. The evaluation of this method using experimental data of Multidirectional CFRP laminates and literature data for different materials shows that it can effectively determine the fatigue limit of composite laminates regardless of their stacking sequence.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of axial yarns on the damage behavior of 2DTBC tubes subjected to axial compression. A novel damage detection method combining infrared thermography and CT scanning was proposed. The presence of axial yarns resulted in different failure modes, with interlayer delamination and folding failure occurring in the absence of axial yarns, and splaying failure occurring in the presence of axial yarns. The use of more axial yarns increased energy absorption but also fiber usage.

Summary: This article examines the possibility of using active infrared thermography as a non-traditional, non-destructive evaluation method for testing adhesive joints, focusing on load-bearing wing structures and related joints. The Pulse Thermography method was used with flash lamps for optical excitation, demonstrating a high ability to detect defects in the adhesive joints. The results are easy to interpret and can be used for both qualitative and quantitative evaluation of thin composite parts' adhesive joints.

Summary: The study examines the use of infrared thermography as a noncontact technique for measuring the residual stress in ground anchors. Both passive and active methods are applied in a large-scale experiment, and the results show temperature changes according to the load and unload steps. The study concludes that infrared thermography is a suitable alternative method for assessing the residual stress in ground anchors.

Summary: This research focuses on designing microstructures using poly ether-etherketone (PEEK) and its composites to improve implant compatibility. Porous hip bone implants produced by Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) mimic natural bone with various lattice structures and excellent properties. The study examines surface treatment and nanostructure to create bioactive PEEK/hydroxyapatite (HAp) composites, which show improved biocompatibility and degradation rates.

Summary: Recently, a novel approach axis-blade angle (ABA) was developed to measure implant positions during trochanteric hip fracture surgery. Although its clinical practicability has been confirmed, the mechanism is yet to be investigated by means of finite element (FE) analysis.

Summary: A Finite Element model is developed to simulate the thermoelastic effect in orthotropic composite laminates subject to cyclic loading. A meso-scale approach is used to model the thermoelastic effect at the lamina level and through-thickness heat transfer. The model accurately captures the dependence of the thermoelastic response on factors such as loading frequency, presence of a resin-rich layer, material system, and layup. Results show that a steady state response is achieved quickly and adiabatic conditions are not fully met even at high loading frequencies. The presence of a resin-rich layer significantly affects through-the-thickness heat transfer and the measured thermoelastic signal.

Summary: The classification of vascular malformations can be a challenge for physicians, leading to the proposal of a new diagnostic procedure based on a portable thermal camera. This technique, which analyzes temperature information, accurately distinguishes between low-flow and high-flow malformations with high sensitivity and specificity. The method offers a more affordable and user-friendly alternative to traditional diagnostic methods.
