Effect of memory and reinforcement on the fatigue failure of elastic materials

We investigate the interplay of two opposing mechanisms, namely damage accumulation and structural reinforcement, in the fatigue failure of a two-dimensional mass-spring system. The buildup of damage is captured in the model by introducing memory to the spring elements, such that the accumulated dam...
