FCP 22
Surface Effects in Fatigue
Surface finish Reducing surface roughness reduces the notch root stresses.Smoother is better!
Designed-innotches
Designed-in notches are a major source of fatigue problems;notches are sites of stress and strain concentration.
Fabricationdefects
Fabrication defects particularly crack-like (planar) as opposedto rounded (volumetric) defects are very damaging whenoriented perpendicular to the applied stress.
Absolute size Because most of fatigue life is spent in making a very smallcrack a little bigger, larger bodies have shorter fatigue livesbecause of the larger spatial extent of the high stresses in theirnotch-root stress fields.
Aggressiveenvironments
Chemical attack can create pits at which fatigue cracks start.Corrosion can greatly reduce the portion of fatigue lifedevoted to fatigue crack initiation and + growth and thusgreatly reduce the fatigue strength at long lives.
FCP 23
Material Property Effects
Tensile, yieldstrength
Higher strength materials resist plastic deformation andhence have a higher fatigue strength at long lives. Mostductile materials perform better at very short fatigue lives.
Temperature Temperature has little influence except for the ductile-to-brittle transition in BCC metals which phenomenon leads to avery much smaller final flaw size. At high temperatures,creep damage may be superposed on fatigue damage.
Quality ofMaterial
Metallurgical defects such as inclusions, seams, internal tears,and segregated elements can initiate fatigue cracks.
Rate of testing At high frequencies, the metal component may be self-heatedby the imposed plastic deformation. At low frequencies,environmental effects may become more important.
FCP 24
Stress Effects in Fatigue
Stress range The basic cause of plastic deformation and consequently theaccumulation of fatigue damage.
Mean andresidual stress
Tensile mean and residual stresses aid the formation andgrowth of fatigue cracks.
Stress gradients Bending is a more favorable loading condition than axialloading because (surface initiating) fatigue cracks propagateinto lower stress environments.

Past Events, Future Behavior?
Design Failure Analysis
An attempt to predict the futurebased on expectations: anticipatedservice loads, component design.
An attempt to explain the past based onevidence: metallography, fractography,computed loads, service records
Motive: save money but avoidpremature fatigue failure.
Motive: assignment of blame, understandcauses so future failure can be avoided.
Methods: fatigue testing, structuralanalysis, fatigue life prediction usingempirical or analytical methods.
Methods: Fractography, materials tests,fracture mechanics.
