Current Problems in Prevention of Fatigue

Abstract

The Defense Metals Information Center conducted a brief survey of the present state of knowledge about fatigue with wide coverage to applications and with particular emphasis on means of early detection of fatigue damage. The survey has excluded consideration of reports of proprietary interest and of reports with security classification. However, it has included information from various branches of the U.S. Army, the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Air Force, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The results of such considerations as have been possible are described in the following pages with the objectives of: (1) Delineating the current state of knowledge; (2) Indicating some of the current research toward increasing this knowledge; and (3) Pointing out areas where further work seems desirable.
