  • Published:
Materials Science Aims and scope

Abstract

The survey is based on the materials of a plenary lecture delivered by the author at the XIV European Conference on Fracture (ECF-14) on September 9, 2002 in Krakow. The author surveys the historical development and contemporary state of scientific and engineering knowledge about fatigue of materials and structures. This includes fatigue as a material phenomenon, prediction models for fatigue properties of structures, and load spectra.
