Abstract
Experiments conducted on both compact tension specimens (by Kobayashi et al., 1991) and cracked pipes (by Schmidt et al., 1991) made of ductile materials have demonstrated a considerably reduced fracture strength under cyclic loadings; that is, fracture occurs for a lower overall deformation if that deformation is reached under cyclic conditions than if it is reached monotonically. The experiments of Schmidt et al. (1991) also seem to indicate that the effect is connected in some way to strain hardening: indeed it is more marked for stainless steels, which exhibit considerable hardening, than for low-alloy steels, which have lower hardening slopes.
