Abstract

Understanding the mechanisms leading to very high cycle fatigue is necessary to make predictions about the behavior under various conditions and to ensure safe design over the whole lifetime of high-performance components. It is further vital for the development of possible measures to increase the very high cycle fatigue strength. This review therefore intends to give an overview of the properties of the fine granular area that have been observed so far. Furthermore, the existing models to describe the early crack initiation and crack growth within the very high cycle fatigue regime are outlined and the models are evaluated on the basis of the identified fine granular area properties. The aim is to provide an overview of the models that can already be considered refuted and to specify the respective open questions regarding the other individual models.
