Abstract
The laws of fracture of PMMA and PS under uniaxial alternating and pulsating cyclic loading have been investigated at several loading frequencies and two test temperatures. An analysis of the dependence of the long-term strength on stress, heating kinetics and the form of the specimen fracture surface has shown that transition from cyclic tension to more complex alternating loading in the tension-compression regime does not change the basic nature of the cyclic fatigue effect and is reflected only in an increase in the local stress concentration and heating.
