Fatigue has traditionally been associated with the failure of metal components which led to the term metal fatigue. In the nineteenth century, the sudden failing of metal railway axles was thought to be caused by the metal crystallising because of the brittle appearance of the fracture surface, but this has since been disproved.

Haigh is known for his contributions in the fields of metal fatigue, welding and theory of plasticity. He is particularly known for Haigh diagram. In 1913 Haigh became a lecturer in applied mechanics at the Royal Naval College. Notable publications. A new machine for alternating load tests (1912)
Allan Holdsworth. Allan Holdsworth chronology. Road Games. (1983) Metal Fatigue. (1985) Atavachron. (1986) Metal Fatigue is the third studio album by guitarist Allan Holdsworth, released in 1985 through Enigma Records (United States) and JMS–Cream Records (Europe).
Metal fatigue occurs when metal - including parts in machines, vehicles and structures - sustains microscopic cracks after being exposed to repeated stress or motion, damage that tends to worsen ...
No Highway in the Sky (also known as No Highway) is a 1951 black-and-white aviation drama film directed by Henry Koster from a screenplay by R. C. Sherriff, Oscar Millard, and Alec Coppel, based on the 1948 novel No Highway by Nevil Shute. The film stars James Stewart, Marlene Dietrich, Glynis Johns, Jack Hawkins, Janette Scott, Elizabeth Allan ...
Work hardening, also known as strain hardening, is the process by which a material's load-bearing capacity (strength) increases during plastic (permanent) deformation. This characteristic is what sets ductile materials apart from brittle materials. [ 1] Work hardening may be desirable, undesirable, or inconsequential, depending on the application.
Metal corrosion and fatigue/Deferred maintenance 3 killed, 3 injured [36] 100-foot (30 m) section of the northbound lanes fell into the Mianus River Collapse due to failure of the pin and hanger assembly supporting the span. Temporary span installed to re-open I-95; new Mianus River Bridge completed in 1990. Puente Colgante de Santa Fe: Santa Fe
The fatigue limit or endurance limit is the stress level below which an infinite number of loading cycles can be applied to a material without causing fatigue failure. [ 1] Some metals such as ferrous alloys and titanium alloys have a distinct limit, [ 2] whereas others such as aluminium and copper do not and will eventually fail even from ...
