<div class="htmlview paragraph">An overview of the basic concepts involved in performing a fatigue analysis is presented as an introduction to a series of specialized papers dealing with the development of fatigue information and its use in engineering design. Following a brief account of the fatigue process and failure definition, methods for describing fatigue resistance are discussed. Cumulative damage concepts based on fatigue life curves are then demonstrated.</div>
