A historical review was carried out, in order to point out the phases leading to investigate the fatigue resistance of materials and mechanical components, using quick and direct methodologies. Starting from researches performed in the early 1980s, the progresses in the research conducted by the Catania group and other investigators, significantly contributing to the increasing interest in the thermographic analysis of the fatigue phenomenon and, more specifically, to the experimental evaluation of the energy release under fatigue loading, were described.
