INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FATIGUE

Typical subjects discussed in International Journal of Fatigue address:Novel fatigue testing and characterization methods (new kinds of fatigue tests, critical evaluation of existing methods, in situ measurement of fatigue degradation, non-contact field measurements)Multiaxial fatigue and complex loading effects of materials and structures, exploring state-of-the-art concepts in degradation under cyclic loadingFatigue in the very high cycle regime, including failure mode transitions from surface to subsurface, effects of surface treatment, processing, and loading conditionsModeling (including degradation processes and related driving forces, multiscale/multi-resolution methods, computational hierarchical and concurrent methods for coupled component and material responses, novel methods for notch root analysis, fracture mechanics, damage mechanics, crack growth kinetics, life prediction and durability, and prediction of stochastic fatigue behavior reflecting microstructure and service conditions)Models for early stages of fatigue crack formation and growth that explicitly consider microstructure and relevant materials science aspectsUnderstanding the influence or manufacturing and processing route on fatigue degradation, and embedding this understanding in more predictive schemes for mitigation and design against fatiguePrognosis and damage state awareness (including sensors, monitoring, methodology, interactive control, accelerated methods, data interpretation)Applications of technologies associated with fatigue and their implications for structural integrity and reliability. This includes issues related to design, operation and maintenance, i.e., life cycle engineeringSmart materials and structures that can sense and mitigate fatigue degradationFatigue of devices and structures at small scales, including effects of process route and surfaces/interfacesCombined and coupled behaviours that affect thermo-chemical-mechanical degradation processes under cyclic loading conditions are also included in the scope of the journal.
