The present paper concentrates on microscale influences in the fatigue crack growth stage. Research into the area of fatigue crack growth exposed to load transient effects not only aids fatigue-life predictions but also adds to a fundamental understanding of fatigue-damage mechanisms. The present results refer to tests carried out on Al alloys and stainless steel.
