Talk:Static fatigue

A citation without link

The citation no. 2 " Rostoker, W. (1960). Embrittlement by Liquid Metals. New York: Reinhold." doesn't have a link to the source, can someone fix it?(or does it need to be fixed?) I'm new here. LonelySchoolbag143 (talk) 09:34, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

Good luck with the assignment. You will need to heavily rewrite this article, as there are some big errors in the science. You should probably look at https://www.google.com/search?q=static fatigue and think what really belongs here. cc'd to User:Stoodley_UBC and User:Ian_(Wiki_Ed) Ldm1954 (talk) 21:10, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

Editing plans

I will include more up to date sources and rewrite the incorrect scientific information stated in the article using an encyclopedic tone. I will either find the mentioned missing diagrams to the article or redact them. I plan to update the references so all of them are consistent in terms of their format.

Finished making edits! I added more citations. I had to remove the kinetics section and metal embrittlement section because I could not find sources to back these up. Plus, the relation between metal fatigue and static fatigue is vague. One source mentioned that the fatigue in metals differ from static fatigue in ceramics and glass. (Here's the source I am referring to: https://www.uomus.edu.iq/img/lectures21/MUCLecture_2022_81051508.pdf) Therefore, I decided to redact it for the sake of uncertainty. I rephrased most of the lead and SCC sections to improve readability and make it less technical. I added sections on applications and examples of stresses. All edits were copied from User:R123J456/Static fatigue. Hoped this helped! R123J456 (talk) 03:33, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

Merger discussion

I am proposing merging this with Fatigue (material). Based on the author's definition, this is a duplicate of that page, which is more complete. Metamd (talk) 02:37, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

:Merge: a very obvious overlap. I see no reason to keep this page as it is weak. WP:BEBOLD. Ldm1954 (talk) 20:33, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

I agree with this. The two definitions seem to be nearly identical, I can see no benefit to keeping them seperate. BuildWithClouds (talk) 11:53, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

The argument to keep them apart is that one is almost entirely about metals and the other is almost entirely about non-metals. Given that failure methods are different, and that Fatigue (material) is fairly well-developed, I think that keeping them separate and adding a distinguish template would be the best course of action. Interestingly Fatigue (material) started off at Metal fatigue and was then moved back in February 2004. Perhaps we could move it back to its original title to better reflect the current contents.

• Redirect to Environmental stress cracking, merging any useful content which may not be much. I have not taught this so I had to look it up; here is a clean explanation, hence I have changed my vote. It is really another term for the same process, and related is also SCC and similar. The stress cracking page is way better so that one should be the master. It will be relevant to do some hunting to clean up similar overlaps. Unfortunately the Materials project on WP seems to be asleep. Ldm1954 (talk)
