This book is primarily a textbook written for people working on fatigue problems of engineering structures and materials associated with design, predictions, load spectra and experimental verifications. Many different fields of interest are involved, as the block diagram on the front cover indicates. It is of great importance that all these aspects are well recognized and understood. The author explains the various topics in a number of chapters. Understanding ofthe fatigue phenomena covering both crack initiation and crack growth is emphasized in view of possible influences of design variables, material selection,production technology and load spectra on the fatigue performance of a structure. Prediction methods for fatigue lives and fatigue crack growth are discussed as well as verification by experiments. Load spectra analysis and statistical aspects are also addressed. The updated version of a textbook that has proved its worth over the years The added CD-ROM will be a valuable tool for a newgeneration of students
