Contains papers presented at Fatigue Design 95 held in Helsinki, Finland from 5-8 September 1995. The papers present practical aspects for the design of components and structures to avoid fatigue failure. Topics covered include: fatigue design experiences, ground vehicle components, component reliability, multiaxial fatigue, and more.
