In a specimen subjected to a cyclic load, a fatigue crack nucleus can be initiated on a microscopically small scale, followed by crack grows to a macroscopic size, and finally to specimen failure in the last cycle of the fatigue life. In the present chapter the fatigue phenomenon will be discussed as a mechanism occurring in metallic materials, first on a microscale and later on a macroscale.
