Abstract
The present investigation is based on a combined experimental program emphasizing thermal effects in low alloy steel, austenitic stainless steels and other metallic and polymeric systems. Generally, fracture mechanics approach was adopted in tension-tension fatigue controlled by the stress intensity factor amplitudes at 77-400K. The selected temperature range enabled to focus also on materials which are characterized by the ductile-brittle transition phenomena. Screening from low temperatures provided adequate information regarding the evaluation of properties and typical process tendencies. The reflection of the experimental results on fatigue design and prevention is elaborated and discussed.
