Abstract
Fatigue failure of metals due to repeated loads has been recognized for over a hundred years. In general, this phenomenon has attracted attention due to the advances in technology which mean that progressively more and more is demanded from machine parts in terms of speeds of operation and loads to be sustained. The required safety and /or reliability of modern engineering structures has also generated interest in this subject. Since Wöhler’s 1871 work on fatigue limit, the field of fatigue has been subdivided into a number of specific topics such as high- and low-cycle fatigue, accumulation of damage, fatigue of notched members, and the initiation, propagation and arrest of fatigue cracks. Each of these areas has developed on the basis of available experimental results. Studies have ranged from the microscopic dislocation mechanism to phenomenological material behaviour to full-scale structural testing and analyses.
