Triaxial Fatigue: An Engineering Overview

Triaxial fatigue occurs when cyclic stresses act simultaneously in three orthogonal directions, creating complex multiaxial loading conditions. Unlike uniaxial fatigue, it plays a critical role in the durability of components like crankshafts, pressure vessels, and structural joints—especially in rotating machinery and welded assemblies. This article explores the principles, applications, and assessment methods for triaxial fatigue…
