It is well known to engineers that fatigue accounts for a majority of structural failures. In plain and reinforced concrete structures, fatigue may lead to excessive deformations, excessive crack widths, de-bonding of reinforcement and rupture of the reinforcement or matrix leading to structural col

Abrtrrt-Aspects of the tccbnical meaning of fatigue considerations in practice are indicated. The fatigue life is subdivided into a crack nucleations period aod a crack propagation period. The siguiticat~ce of recog&iag these periods for practical problems is illustmtcd by several ~xamptes. The simi
Motivated by experimental observations, we carry out a numerical analysis of the two-stage crack growth under fretting fatigue by using an efficient and accurate boundary element method. To start with, the variation of stress field during a loading cycle is analyzed. Various values of friction coeff
Cychc pre-stress increases subsequent fatigue crack growth rate in 2024-T3Sl ahrminum ahoy. This increase in growth rate, caused by the pre-stress, and the increased rate, caused by temper embrittlement as observed by Ritchie and Knott, cannot be explained by the crack tip blunting model alone. Each
