Summary: Multiaxial fatigue of metallic materials is a topic of active research in the field of structural integrity. It is a general term used to describe the mechanical behavior of components due to presence of two or more components of stress/strain tensor. This type of loading condition can be seen in mechanical components loaded under combined loading conditions and/or components having a complex geometry. In an attempt to have a clear understanding of multiaxial fatigue, numerous theoretical models based on local and global stress/strain have been proposed in the past years. The key objective of the minisymposium is to prompt discussion about theoretical, numerical and experimental studies on multiaxial fatigue, offering a common ground for the researchers and engineers to present their findings and discuss the recent developments in the field.
