ASTM E466-15 - 1.5.2015
 
Significance and Use

4.1 The axial force fatigue test is used to determine the effect of variations in material, geometry, surface condition, stress, and so forth, on the fatigue resistance of metallic materials subjected to direct stress for relatively large numbers of cycles. The results may also be used as a guide for the selection of metallic materials for service under conditions of repeated direct stress.

Codename: "The Midnight Millennium Seed" Status: Partially Corrupted | Highly Ephemeral Security Clearance: [ REQUIRED: DIGITAL ARCHEOLOGIST / Y2K REMNANT ] 1. What is Y2K0724? Unlike standard Y2K backups (which preserved code for the 2000 bug), Y2K0724 is a rogue emotional cache . Discovered in 2023 on a single-function Toshiba hard drive inside a demolished internet café in Akihabara, it is believed to be the digital equivalent of a diary written by an AI between July 24th, 1999, and July 24th, 2000.

4.3 The results of the axial force fatigue test are suitable for application to design only when the specimen test conditions realistically simulate service conditions or some methodology of accounting for service conditions is available and clearly defined.
