FATIGUE FAILURE
• When a material is subjected to repeated stresses, it fails at stresses below the yield
point stresses. Such type of failure of a material is known as fatigue. The failure may
occur even without any prior indications. The fatigue of material is affected by the size of
the component, relative magnitude of static and fluctuating loads and the numbers of
load reversals.
