- Strain-life fatigue modeling
- Multiaxial fatigue assessment
- Fretting fatigue evaluation
- Corrosion fatigue considerations
- Goodman diagram construction
- Run-out criteria application
- Notch sensitivity analysis
- Statistical treatment of fatigue data
- Design allowable determination
- Fatigue test correlation
