This lecture introduces the concept of fatigue in materials, where repeated stress leads to failure at lower levels than static rupture. It covers topics such as fracture mechanics, fatigue resistance, endurance limit, and deformation behavior under fatigue conditions. The instructor discusses the importance of considering fatigue in material design and provides examples of fatigue failures in real-life applications.
