Definition
It is well understood that temperature affects fatigue life of a structure. Under the same cyclic or repeated stress or strain loading conditions, fatigue life of a structure could vary significantly in different temperature environments. Such an environment could be a merely low, moderate, high temperature or a cyclic temperature that may or may not couple with the cyclic loading. Over the twentieth century, especially in the last five to six decades, many research results have been published on this topic. However, a universal theory to characterize quantitatively the temperature effect on fatigue has yet to be established, and such a theory that applies to all materials over a broad temperature range may never be established due to the complexity of the topic and significant difference of applications. The state of the art, at least for the time being, remains to be the...
