This special-topic book consists of a collection of technical papers assembled under the rubric of “Advances in Understanding the Fatigue Behavior of Materials”. The focus of “Fatigue Behavior of Materials” centers on the changes in properties that occur upon applying cyclic loads. Following its recognition and increasing importance during the latter half of the nineteenth century, this branch of study has focused upon the study and rationalization of the engineering approaches that are commonly used to design against the initiation and/or propagation of the fatigue damage which would otherwise culminate in catastrophic failure.

Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView: For this special issue of the journal, invited papers focus on the single topic of changes in properties of materials that occur upon the application of cyclic loads. They cover ferrous and non-ferrous alloys, emerging materials, and alternative novel approaches to studying fatigue. Among specific topics are the cyclic stability and fatigue performance of ultrafine-grained interstitial-free steel under mean stress, the cyclic depth-sensing indentation of gold wire, direct comparisons of fatigue behavior in bulk-metallic glasses and crystalline alloys, and a dissipated energy approach to fatigue crack growth in ductile solids and layered materials.
