ASTM E606-04 Strain-Controlled Fatigue Testing

This practice covers the determination of fatigue properties of nominally homogeneous materials by the use of test specimens subjected to uniaxial forces. It is intended as a guide for fatigue testing performed in support of such activities as materials research and development, mechanical design, process and quality control, product performance, and failure analysis. While this practice is intended primarily for straincontrolled fatigue testing, some sections may provide useful information for force-controlled or stress-controlled testing.
