In the present chapter, fatigue properties of materials are described in terms of the fatigue limit, fatigue curves (S-N curves) and a fatigue diagram. The properties are restricted to results of constant-amplitude (CA) tests on unnotched specimens (K t = 1.0) It is generally thought that the results of these tests reflect the basic fatigue behavior of a material. Mechanical properties of a material should include fatigue properties, but quite often reporting of fatigue properties is restricted to the fatigue limit on unnotched specimens obtained in rotating beam experiments (S m = 0).
