= Vibration fatigue
{wiki=Vibration_fatigue}
Vibration fatigue refers to the degradation or failure of materials and structures due to cyclic stress imposed by vibrational forces over time. This type of fatigue occurs when a component is subjected to repeated vibrations that generate oscillating stresses, leading to wear, material degradation, and ultimately failure. Vibration fatigue can be a significant concern in various engineering applications, including mechanical systems, automotive components, aerospace structures, and machinery.
