Abstract
Fatigue life as a function of number of stress cycles has been determi ned for three-layer titanium-aluminum-titanium thin-film specimens. Fo r nominal stresses ranging from 50 to 90 percent of the upper-bound ul timate strength, the fatigue lives ranged up to 76 cycles. In all spec imens, active crack were observed after only a few stress cycles. Thes e crack grew with repeated cycling. The fatigue life was reached when the specimen could no longer sustain the maximum cyclic stress.
