Adiabatic Heating in Material Model Calibration

If you deform a tension specimen it will exhibit viscoplastic energy dissipation, and that energy will increase the specimen temperature. Most people ignore the increase in specimen temperature during the deformation, but what if you want to be more accurate? What if you want to include the specimen heat up due to the dissipated energy during your material model calibration. How can you do that? One way to do this is to use an infrared thermometer to directly measure the specimen surface temperature during the test. Another way is to use MCalibration and include adiabatic heating as part of the material model calibration. In this video I will show you how to do this!
