Preventing material fatigue

Studying material failure
Detecting material fatigue

Description

Preventing material fatigue involves implementing measures to reduce cyclic stress and prolong the lifespan of materials subjected to repeated loading. Essential actions include optimizing design to minimize stress concentrations, selecting fatigue-resistant materials, applying protective coatings, and conducting regular inspections for early detection of cracks. These strategies aim to prevent structural failures, enhance safety, and reduce maintenance costs by addressing the root causes of fatigue and ensuring timely intervention before critical damage occurs.
