In general, boundary condition loads, at a level, do not cause any damage when applied once, but when repeatedly applied, damage occurs in the form of cracks or fractures. In other words, fatigue is the changes that occur in the internal structure of the material under variable stresses. For more detail about fatigue: What is Fatigue As it is known, fatigue is a structural damage of materials under cyclic loads. There are a few main types of fatigue. Mechanical Fatigue Creep Fatigue Thermal Fatigue Thermo-Mechanical Fatigue Corrosion Fatigue Fretting Fatigue Mechanical fatigue, which is the topic of this article, could be described as damage and fracture caused of cyclic loading…
