Construction of Electronic Factual Database on Very High Cycle Fatigue Properties for Structural Metallic Materials

Abstract:

As a joint project of Committees on Fatigue and Reliability Engineering in the Society of Materials Science, Japan (JSMS), an electronic database on fatigue strength of metallic materials fabricated in Japan had been constructed and published in 1996. Book style of the same data compilation had been published at the same time by the JSMS and Elsevier. About twenty years have passed since the above publications of database and databook. Thus, a lot of new fatigue test data have been obtained during such a long period including many data on the very high cycle fatigue such as gigacycle regime. Based on such a circumstance, the JSMS has organized a new project to construct an electronic database on very high cycle fatigue. A lot of numerical data obtained by fatigue tests would be compiled together with many photographs of fracture surfaces. In this paper, fundamental view and compilation concept of the database are briefly introduced by showing a typical example of proto-type database constructed from domestic data in Japan.
