Abstract
The most common failure that occurs in materials, such as metals, is caused by fatigue. The simplest way of looking at fatigue is by considering a specimen which is being repeatedly stressed under tension and compression. Not only tensile stresses that are repeatedly applied can cause fatigue failure, but any force which is acting in a reverse direction may ultimately result in such a failure. Loading a test specimen repeatedly by applying a force acting axially, torsionally or flexurally can induce fatigue failure.
