Explain Fatigue. Can you point out some of the structures that may be subjected to fatigue?
Fatigue can be described as the gradual damage to a structure that occurs when it is subjected to cyclic loading (repeated loading and unloading). Some of the structures that may be subjected to fatigue include:
• Bridges that are heavily loaded
• Hydraulic Presses
• Aircraft
• Concrete Reservoirs
• Pylons
• Turbines
• Overhead cranes
• Transmission towers
• Offshore platforms
• Burners trains
