Title: The Residual Stress Explanation of Fatigue Failures in Mechanical Parts
Author: Almen, John and Black, Paul
Source: ASTM
Publication year 1964
Document number: 1964006
Number of pages: 12
Abstract:
It has become clearly evident that older theories of fatigue failures are fallacious, incomplete, and misleading. These have been largely replaced by theories based on new
concepts which are amply vertified by experimental evidence and which provide adequate explanation and prediction of fatigue failures. The purpose of this paper is to
contribute to the explanation of these modern and basic concepts in the interest of improved design, particularly for mechanical parts where low weight and low cost are
important, and in general to contibute to the science of mechanical design.
