This thesis demonstrates the potential usage of thermography to identify vibration fatigue on dynamically exited samples. At the beging of the thesis, priciples of thermoelasticity and vibrations are presented, following by numerical modal analysis and experimental research with thermal camera where we determined modal shapes of a sample. Main experiment was focused on identification of fatigue on a sample. In the final analysis we found out that fatigue on a sample can be determined by the drop of amplitude of temperature oscillation on most stressed parts of the sample.
