Failure in fatigue by the mechanism of crack initiation and propagation originationg at flaws and stress concentrations has been fairly well established. It explains the fatigue phenomena in highly elastic materials, namely metals and certain thermosetting plastics such as reinforced polyester and epoxy resins. We have found, however, that a different mechanism dominates the fatigue behavior of thermoplastics. Specifically, the mechanism involves the generationa of heat within the material due to viscous damping or hysteresis. This paper presents fatigue, damping data and temperature measurements during cyclic stress to support this conclusion on three themoplastic resins of widely different mechanical properties, polyetrafluouoethylene (PTFE), Nylon 6, and polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA). In addition to the usual S-N fatigue curves, we wil show how surface temperature changes with fatigue life and how this change is affected by stress, Frequency, crystallinity, specimen geometry and other parameters. Alos, the loss compliance of the materials will be presented as afunction of temperature to show the relationship of fatigue to damping properties.
