As Directors of this NATO Workshop we welcome this opportunity to
record formally our thanks to the NATO Scientific Affairs Division
for making our meeting possible through generous financial support
and encouragement. This meeting had two purposes: the first obvious
one because we have collected key scientists from East and West
together to discuss the latest developments in the design against
fatigue for structures and components. The second is less obvious
but perhaps in the longer term more important; that is the building
of bridges between East and West Europe, bridges cemented in the
first place by personal friendship between scientists. Fatigue is
the process by which structures subjected to cyclical loads
deteriorate. The advent of the industrial revolution and in
particular the spread of railways caused this phenomena to be
recognised and studied some 150 years ago. Despite intensive
efforts over the years and despite a huge increase in our
theoretical and practical understanding offatigue, failures still
occur causing economic disruption and even loss of life. Some of
the reasons lying behind this apparent failure to apply advanced
knowledge to everyday engineering were explored during this
Workshop. Economic pressures to extend the lives of existing plant
are becoming more intense. Therefore of vital importance is the
generation of knowledge used to assess the performance of existing
structures and machines and to produce guidance on their continued
safe operation.
