This book presents a refined methodology to predict fatigue life of high-strength steels: Uniform Material Law (UML) for High-Strength Steels. In contrast to other available methods, UML is a handy method as only tensile strength data of metals are needed for estimation of the strain-life curves. The extension of UML to high-strength steels will be of interest and use to mechanical and structural engineers and researchers of related disciplines.
