Fatigue fracture mechanism of amorphous materials from a density-based coarse-grained model

Fracture during fatigue loading is known to occur in materials for small strains, below the yield strain. Here, coarse-grain simulations of a model amorphous material reveals that the onset strain at which irreversible deformation occurs is the same for fatigue as it is for monotonic loading.
