ASTM E466-15 - 1.5.2015
 
Significance and Use

4.1 The axial force fatigue test is used to determine the effect of variations in material, geometry, surface condition, stress, and so forth, on the fatigue resistance of metallic materials subjected to direct stress for relatively large numbers of cycles. The results may also be used as a guide for the selection of metallic materials for service under conditions of repeated direct stress.

Matteo looked at his empty church. The stained glass showed a man turning water into wine—a trick any nano-chemist could now perform. He felt a fraud.

Matteo hung up the phone. He looked at the cracked holoscreen, then back at Kaelen. neo-miracle

Her name was Kaelen. She was twenty-two, dressed in the silver skinsuit of a corporate "Logos" runner—one of those who hunted for intellectual property violations in the data-stream. But her eyes were red-rimmed, hollow. Not from exhaustion. From grief. Matteo looked at his empty church

Matteo didn’t recite a formal verse. He simply said, "God, if you're still in the miracle business—not the flashy kind, but the quiet one—please let this child live." neo-miracle

4.3 The results of the axial force fatigue test are suitable for application to design only when the specimen test conditions realistically simulate service conditions or some methodology of accounting for service conditions is available and clearly defined.
