Fatigue (material): Characters, History, Research & Art

In materials science, fatigue is the initiation and propagation of cracks in a material due to cyclic loading. Once a fatigue crack has initiated, it grows a small amount with each loading cycle, typically producing striations on some parts of the fracture surface. The crack will continue to grow until it reaches a critical size, which occurs when the…

Fatigue (material) relationships Subject–Predicate–Object triples

TTTA extracted 28 structured relationships around Fatigue (material). Examples in this analysis include holes → instance of → microscopic cracks will begin to initiate at stress concentrations and from an inclusion in the material or from a geometric stress concentrator caused by a sharp internal corner or fillet.Crack growthMost of the fatigue life is generally consumed in the crack growth phase → instance of → PSB-induced surface slip can cause fractures to initiate.These steps can also be bypassed entirely if the cracks form at a pre-existing stress concentrator. The table shows each extracted connection, where it came from and its confidence.
