Abstract
This paper describes results of several recent studies, carried out in Japan, on metal-fatigue problems using X-ray diffraction techniques. The subjects covered are the effect of residual stress on fatigue strength, non-destructive detection of fatigue damage from information supplied by X-ray diffraction, and X-ray microbeam analysis of stress and strain near the tips of fatigue cracks and fracture surfaces. The usefulness of the X-ray approach to fatigue problems is emphasized and possible future developments are suggested.
