FATIGUE PHENOMENA AND THEIR INTERPRETATION

Abstract

Important fatigue data are reviewed, and typical data patterns are developed and interpreted. The causes and effects of materials fatigue and the effects of various loads or stresses on fatigue properties are described. High- level stress (or low-cycle fatigue), low-level stress, mean stress, combined stress, stress concentration, random loading, and the speed of application of cyclic stresses are included in the discussion. The effect of temperature on fatigue is also described.
