Understanding fatigue failure mechanisms, testing methods, and strategies to enhance material fatigue resistance is critical for engineers working to improve structural durability.

Fatigue curve slope (B). Based on regression analysis of the aforementioned research test data, the exponent B was found to be approximately 3.0. (More details can be found in NCHRP Report 286.

RECENT investigations of the fatigue characteristics of a wide range of alloys have revealed a discontinuity in the S/N fatigue curves at high-stress levels. Finney1 reports that the ...
