Abstract
The temperature distribution of a paper sheet during fracture toughness testing was successively observed as a series of color images by means of an infrared thermography system with close-up lens. No stress concentration accompanied by plastic deformation occurs within the deep double-edge notched tension specimen except around notch tips. A uniformly and plastically deformed region develops from notch tips at the second half of the testing period and becomes a circular plastically deformed region on the ligament just before final sheet failure, irrespective of beating degree. A stable crack has started to grow from notch tips at latest at the point of maximum load. Application: The thermography is a good tool to examine the new testing methods for strenghth properties.

How cracks are hot and cool: a burning issue for paper

TL;DR: This work directly relates the temperature field around a moving crack tip to the part α of mechanical energy converted into heat, and shows that (self-generated) heat accumulation could weaken the authors' samples by microfiber combustion, and lead to a fast crack/dynamic failure/regime.

Thermographical Analysis of Paper During Tensile Testing and Comparison to Digital Image Correlation

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that an overlaid compaction of the paper was created during the creping process and during tensile testing this was recovered as the paper network structure was strained.
