This repository houses experiment data of variable amplitude and block loading fatigue experiments performed at Labo Soete of Ghent University, Belgium. This dataset contains extensive information on every tested specimen (surface conditions, accurate dimensions, ...).
In addition, it contains a large collection of fatigue experiments published in literature. The purpose of this dataset is to aid analytical and data-driven research on fatigue damage accumulation and fatigue lifetime estimation models.
We will keep updating this database as we perform more experiments and collect more data from literature.
