The International Journal of Fatigue focuses on disseminating knowledge concerning the fatigue behavior of materials, components, and structures. It also explores the mechanisms and prediction of fatigue failure. The introduction should concisely convey the journal's focus.
Key areas covered include fatigue crack initiation and propagation, the influence of environmental factors, and the application of fatigue analysis in engineering design. The journal provides a forum for researchers and engineers to exchange ideas and advancements in the field of fatigue.
By promoting a deeper understanding of fatigue phenomena, the International Journal of Fatigue contributes to the development of more durable and reliable engineering systems. It welcomes submissions that advance both the theoretical and practical aspects of fatigue research.
