Fatigue '87. Volume 1,

: The current proceedings of the third conference, 'Fatigue 87', which was held at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, covered a wide range of diverse views of the fundamental and applied aspects of fatigue. This includes questions of cyclic deformation, crack initiation and propagation, small cracks, crack closure, variable amplitude effects, and environmentally-influenced behavior. The proceedings should provide a comprehensive state-of-the-art review of the field, suitable for students, researchers and practising engineers alike.
