Georgia Tech researchers used a thermal camera to record the
variation in surface temperature (top) of a shape-memory alloy experiencing
loading and unloading. By inputting this information into their thermo-mechanical
model, the researchers were able to accurately predict internal temperature and
stress distributions for the material, which is being investigated for use in constructing
seismic-resistant structures. (Credit: Reza Mirzaeifar)
