This research addresses the challenge of the extended duration and high number of tests required to predict the fatigue life stress of materials. To tackle this issue, a methodology is proposed based on the intrinsic viscoelastic effects of thermoplastic and thermoset-based materials and composites. The approach utilizes thermographic techniques to monitor the temperature generated during the application of a test protocol aimed at reducing the time required to predict material fatigue life. This has key applications in sectors such as automotive, aerospace, and wind energy, enhancing both testing efficiency and quality control. Furthermore, it aligns with sustainability and circular economy strategies, contributing to advances in innovative materials and industrial processes.
