Thermoelastic stress analysis datasets were collected during tensile loading of hole-in-plate aluminium alloy specimens, at both constant amplitude and frequency conditions, and at variable amplitude and frequency conditions - based on an idealised flight cycle. Data were collected during initiation and propagation of a fatigue crack and monitored using three types of infra-red detector at different price points.
