Kelly Virginia Tech Materials Science and Engineering /classes/MSE2094_NoteBook/97ClassProj/anal/kelly/fatigue.html Overview Cyclic Stresses S-N Curve Crack Initiation and Propagation Propagation Rate Factors That Affect Fatigue Life Example Problems References The concept of fatigue is very simple, when a motion is repeated, the object that is doing the work becomes weak. For example, when you run, your leg and other muscles of your body become weak, not always to the point where you cant move them anymore, but there is a noticeable decrease in quality output. This same principle is seen in materials. Fatigue occurs when a material is subject to alternating stresses, over a long period of time. Examples of where Fatigue may occur are: springs, turbine blades, airplane wings, bridges and bones. This page will cover the topics included in Materials Science and Engineering, and Introduction by Callister, as well as other information that may be helpful to the student in an i
