5、sor Taira had long been active in fatigue research,had contributed to this symposium as a member of its international advisory board and the co-author of an invited paper,and had journeyed to Kansas City with Mrs.Taira in May 1978 to interact,for the last time,with an international group of fatigue
6、researchers.It is with sincere appreciation for his life-long contribution in fatigue and his personal interest in ASTM Committee E-9 on Fatigue that we dedicate this symposium volume to his memory.Professor Taira was born on 22 October 1920 in Nishinomiya,Hyogo Prefecture,Japan.He received a Bachel
7、or of Engineering degree from Kyoto University in 1943 and the Doctorate of Engineering from the same University in 1952.From 1954 to 1956,he spent two years at the University of Illinois-Urbana,an associa-tion that furthered continuing interactions between scientists and engineers in the United Sta

12、icine are two professions that share several traits,one of which may be described as the responsibility to ensure the health of an object,animate or inanimate.To the extent that this analogy holds true,engineers who design for fatigue may be compared with some obstetricians who dare to predict how l
13、ong babies might live.Clearly anyone who reads census data can predict that a newly born infant in the United States has a 90 percent chance of living to at least 50 years old,but it takes a medical scientist with the support of some sophisticated test data to even consider a request for stretching
14、that prediction to a life span of 70 years.This is understandable,because the first prediction requires no understanding,while the second does.Similarly,a design engineer who is called upon to produce a product for a reasonably long life would know not only the codes and standards for fatigue testin
15、g but also the underlying mechanisms of fatigue.It is to the latter that this book is dedicated.For three days during May 1978,more than 200 leading scientists and research engineers from 12 countries(see Appendix for a list of attendees)gathered at Kansas City,Missouri,to listen to the presentation
16、 and dis-cussion of 28 papers on fatigue mechanisms.This book,which resulted from the three-day symposium sponsored jointly by the ASTM Committee E-9 on Fatigue,the National Bureau of Standards(NBS),and the National Science Foundation(NSF),contains the text of all those papers as well as the written and oral discussions transacted at this conference.Hence the total number of contributors to this book exceeds 100.The book is divided into eight chapters.As expected,the emphasis of the conference w
