7 criteria to prevent material fatigue

Image
Material fatigue is defined as an accumulating degradation of material caused by dynamic stress with amplitude below the tensile strength limit. From the practical perspective we can divide the fatigue into two groups:  low-cycle fatigue with number of cycles up to 104 and amplitude of stress above the yield point, where plastic deformation predominates  high-cycle fatigue with number of cycles more than 104 and amplitude of stress, usually way below the yield point, where elastic deformation predominates Low-cycle fatigue is not important for a design of the joint. During the low-cycle fatigue process, stress amplitudes usually exceed the yield point. Fasteners shouldn´t even reach this value of stress. On the other hand, we should be aware of the high-cycle fatigue! Designers of a fastened joint should always consider the influence of high-cycle fatigue when dynamic forces are expected!  On the figure typical example of dynamic loading cycle can be seen. The most important variab
