FATIGUE
Progressive, localized and permanent damage
that occurs when a material is subjected to
cyclic or repeated or fluctuating strains at
nominal stresses that have maximum values
less than the static yield strength of the
material
Beach marks
Rubbing Brittle
propagation
Final ductile
fracture
Factors required to cause
fatigue
Three basic factors
Com
Stages
Occurs in Five stages
N = No of Cycles, Life
N ap C
Basquin equation
Endurance limit for some NF
alloys
4. Damage-tolerant design
Is and extension of fail safe design
incorporating materials that have slow
crack growth - high fracture toughness
