    This document defines fatigue as the evolution of material properties due to repeated application of stresses or strains. It notes that different materials have distinct damage mechanisms and fatigue properties. It then discusses sources of fatigue damage such as microstructural inhomogeneity and stress concentrations. Finally, it outlines different types of fatigue including mechanical, multiaxial, thermal, creep-fatigue, and corrosion fatigue and provides examples of mechanical fatigue in automotive shafts and welded structures.

    DEFINITION

    • Definition of fatigue: evolution of properties


    occurring in a material subjected to repeated
    application of stresses or strains.
    • Notes:
    – Fatigue affects a variety of applications
    – Distinct materials have distinct damage
    mechanisms and distinctive fatigue properties.
    THE TENSILE CURVE
    EXAMPLE OF CYCLIC
    LOADING

    • Consider spokes on a
    motorcycle wheel. Will
    failure occur if σ(t) and if
    σmax < σy ?
    SOURCES OF FATIGUE
    DAMAGE

    • Microstructural inhomogeneity
    • Physical damage
    • Stress concentrations
    TYPES OF FATIGUE

    • Mechanical Fatigue
    • Multiaxial Fatigue
    • Thermal Fatigue
    • Creep-Fatigue
    • Thermomechanical
    Fatigue
    • Corrosion Fatigue
    • Contact Fatigue
    • And so on
    EXAMPLES OF MECHANICAL
    FATIGUE

    • Material or component is
    subjected to isothermal
    mechanical cycling at
    room or elevated
    temperature conditions
    • Mechanical strain rate is
    designed to avoid time
    dependent deformation
    (e.g. creep)
    • Examples: Automotive
    shafts, welded structures
