Measurement of Temperatures Developed in Tensile Bars Under Test to Fracture.
Abstract
Mild steel tensile bars are hardened and tempered and pulled to fracture. The temperature generated within the tensile bars is measured with a scanning infrared radiometer and liquid crystals. Radiometer tracings and photographs of the liquid crystals are presented which show an intense localized heating present in the necked region of the tensile bars. A temperature anomaly expected on the basis of past work was not observed. A concept, in its preliminary stage, is presented to describe the apparent temperature anomaly in terms of a crystal model potential energy function.
