The 1988 Aloha Airlines Flight 243 suffered an explosive decompression at 24,000 feet (7,300 m) after a fatigue failure. The 1989 United Airlines Flight 232 lost its tail engine due to fatigue failure in a fan disk hub. The 1992 El Al Flight 1862 lost both engines on its right-wing due to fatigue failure in the pylon mounting of the #3 Engine.
Within the branch of materials science known as material failure theory, the Goodman relation (also called a Goodman diagram, a Goodman-Haigh diagram, a Haigh diagram or a Haigh-Soderberg diagram) is an equation used to quantify the interaction of mean and alternating stresses on the fatigue life of a material.

In materials science, material failure is the loss of load carrying capacity of a material unit. This definition introduces to the fact that material failure can be examined in different scales, from microscopic, to macroscopic. In structural problems, where the structural response may be beyond the initiation of nonlinear material behaviour ...
Low cycle fatigue (LCF) has two fundamental characteristics: plastic deformation in each cycle; and low cycle phenomenon, in which the materials have finite endurance for this type of load. The term cycle refers to repeated applications of stress that lead to eventual fatigue and failure; low-cycle pertains to a long period between applications.
This test aims to establish the stress-cycles-to-failure characteristics of materials, primarily utilising an identified stress range and load application frequency. It is usually performed using a standard fatigue testing machine where the test specimen is prepared in a specifically defined manner and then subjected to loads until failure ...
Curve A shows the fatigue behavior of a material tested in air. A fatigue threshold (or limit) is seen in curve A, corresponding to the horizontal part of the curve. Curves B and C represent the fatigue behavior of the same material in two corrosive environments. In curve B, the fatigue failure at high stress levels is retarded, and the fatigue ...
Fatigue alone is the driving cause of failure in this case, causing the material to fail before oxidation can have much of an effect. [1] TMF still is not fully understood. There are many different models to attempt to predict the behavior and life of materials undergoing TMF loading. The two models presented below take different approaches.
Fatigue failure always begins at a crack that may form over time or due to the manufacturing process used. The three stages of fatigue failure are: Crack initiation- when repeated stress creates a fracture in the material being used; Crack propagation- when the initiated crack develops in the material to a larger scale due to tensile stress.
