Relations Governing Low Cycle Fatigue : a Summary of the Pertinent Literature

Description: The information available to date on low-cycle fatigue, resulting from either repeated mechanical straining (strain cycling) or from repeated temperature changes under restraint (thermal cycling and thermal shock), their relation to static and conventional fatigue properties, and their fundamental significance is assembled. In spite of the small amount of data accumulated on the effects of the numerous variables involved in low-cycle fatigue these data appear to conform to certain significant r… more
