ASTM Committee E08 (Fatigue and Fracture)

ASTM Committee E08 focuses on developing standards related to the behavior of materials under repeated stress, known as fatigue, and their tendency to crack or break, called fracture. It sets guidelines for testing, evaluating, and improving materials used in construction, manufacturing, and engineering to ensure safety and durability. The committee's work helps predict how materials perform over time when subjected to daily forces, ensuring reliability and preventing failures in structures and products. Their standards are widely used internationally to promote consistency and quality in material performance assessments.
