Abstract
The application of dislocation theory and electron microscopy to problems of low-cycle fatigue has attracted considerable interest in the last three decades. The evolution of defect structure and microstructure during cyclic deformation and its effect on cyclic hardening and cyclic softening have been studied intensively. Studies of strain localization in persistent slip bands have led to a sound understanding of the cyclic stress-strain curve. The sliding and the migration of boundaries during high temperature fatigue have been investigated. These developments are illustrated with selected examples from the vast literature on the subject.
