Fatigue crack occurs when a material is subjected to recurring loading. Fatigue crack is dangerous and harmful because it is difficult to detect and monitor with naked eyes. Minor loading can even cause fatigue to the material. Therefore, it is crucial to have evaluation technique to detect and moni...
