This article reviews the basic techniques employed in fatigue life prediction. The stress-life, local-strain, and fracture-mechanics methods as applied to life prediction under constant amplitude loading and variable amplitude loading are discussed. Life prediction methodology under variable maplitude loading is also discussed, with particular emphasis on the linear-damage accumulation approach, or Miner's rule. Finally, a discussion of various cycle-counting techniques for variable amplitude loading is given.

Written by a leading researcher in the field, this revised and updated second edition of a highly successful book provides an authoritative, comprehensive and unified treatment of the mechanics and micromechanisms of fatigue in metals, non-metals and composites. The author discusses the principles of cyclic deformation, crack initiation and crack growth by fatigue, covering both microscopic and continuum aspects. The book begins with discussions of cyclic deformation and fatigue crack initiation in monocrystalline and polycrystalline ductile alloys as well as in brittle and semi-/non-crystalline solids. Total life and damage-tolerant approaches are then introduced in metals, non-metals and composites followed by more advanced topics. The book includes an extensive bibliography and a problem set for each chapter, together with worked-out example problems and case studies. This will be an important reference for anyone studying fracture and fatigue in materials science and engineering, mechanical, civil, nuclear and aerospace engineering, and biomechanics. 2ff7e9595c
