Structural integrity is a critical consideration in engineering, particularly for materials subjected to cyclic loading when repetitive strains over time are employed in facilities like gas turbines of aircraft or terrestrial power plants, turbochargers or railways axis. Unlike static loading, cyclic loading can induce fatigue, a phenomenon where small, repeated stresses or strains lead to the initiation and growth of microscopic cracks, ultimately resulting in catastrophic failure.

The study of cyclically loaded materials combines principles of materials science, mechanics, and design engineering. Key factors influencing structural integrity include the material’s fatigue strength, crack growth rate, and resistance to environmental effects such as high-temperature oxidation. Understanding the behaviour of materials under cyclic loading requires evaluating how strain amplitude, frequency, load ratio, and the presence of stress concentrators (e.g., notches) contribute to damage progression. Important subjects are particularly represented by high-temperature low-cycle fatigue, thermal and thermomechanical fatigue and multiaxial elasto-plastic fatigue.

The group of Structural integrity of cyclically loaded materials builds on strong foundations of fatigue of metals started in IPM under the leadership of the deceased Prof. Mirko Klesnil in the 1960s and brings the best combination of long-term experience in the field of low-cycle fatigue with a special focus on cyclic plasticity in cutting edge materials.



The main subjects pursued:


  • cyclic plastic straining the mechanisms, sources of the cyclic stress and relation to the internal structure. Analysis of the hysteresis loop using statistical theory in terms of the internal and effective stress, the relation of the macroscopic response to the internal dislocation structure.

  • fatigue damage mechanisms - the mechanisms of cyclic slip localisation, fatigue crack nucleation

  • interaction of low cycle fatigue with creep at elevated temperatures, structural changes and damage evolution in high temperature symmetric and asymmetric loading; nickel based superalloys

  • fatigue of composite materials - damage evolution, cracking and fatigue fracture of laminate composites (GLARE, ARALL)

  • effect of the coatings on the cyclic plasticity and fatigue life of advanced materials - effect of nitride and carbon layers and of the other coating procedures on the individual stages of fatigue process and on the fatigue life.

  • effect of depressed and elevated temperatures on the early fatigue damage - study of the surface relief evolution using high resolution techniques (AFM, FESEM, EBSD, FIB) in austenitic, ferritic and austenitic-ferritic duplex stainless steels

  • short crack growth kinetics in advanced steels - duplex, Eurofer, effect of mean stress

  • study of fatigue damage in TiAl intermetallics


The most important results in the last five years:


  • quantitative description of short crack growth regime and its use for the fatigue life prediction

  • experimental documentation of fatigue damage evolution in plastic strain amplitude controlled one-step and two-step loading

  • separation of the cyclic stress into internal and effective component using loop shape analysis

  • measurement of the effective stress and the distribution of the internal critical stresses in stainless austenitic, ferritic and duplex steels

  • application of the atomic force microscopy (AFM), high resolution scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and focused ion beam (FIB) to the study of surface relief evolution and fatigue crack nucleation

  • quantitative data on the extrusion and intrusion formation in stainless steel at ambient, depressed and elevated temperatures

  • theoretical description of the temperature dependence of the extrusion growth in fatigued single and polycrystals
