Chapter 8: Fatigue

"Until about the middle of the nineteenth century engineers treated fluctuating or repeated loading the same as static loading, except for the use of larger safety factors. Use of the term fatigue in these situations appears to have been introduced by Poncelet of France in a book published in 1839. Modern authorities suggest that the term progressive fracture would perhaps have been more appropriate."
