The behaviour of steel or composite joints under cyclic loading is characterized by hysteretic loops with progressive degradation of strength and stiffness that eventually leads to failure of the joint. A typical natural event that, for simplicity, is usually approximated by cyclic loading is an earthquake. Usually, seismic events provoke relatively high amplitudes of rotation in the joint area, so that steel repeatedly reaches the plastic range and the joint fails after a relatively small number of cycles. This typical behaviour is usually called oligocyclic fatigue, in close analogy with the behaviour of steel under repeated cyclic loading stressed into the plastic regime. 1, record 3, English, - oligocyclic%20fatigue

La fatigue oligocyclique, qui est susceptible de se produire après un nombre de cycles limité lorsqu'il y a dépassement périodique de la limite d’élasticité du matériau, a, en particulier, fait l'objet de nombreux essais. 1, record 3, French, - fatigue%20oligocyclique

Lancé en 1989 et connu sous le nom de Programme international de tests structuraux de suivi(PITSS)(en anglais, IFOSTP), ce projet conjoint du Canada et de l'Australie est devenu l'un des plus anciens programmes internationaux. Il a engendré des économies de plusieurs milliards de dollars au titre de la gestion de flottes d’avions militaires et de la prolongation de la durée de vie utile des avions, tout en favorisant la mise au point de nouvelles techniques d’essai de résistance à la fatigue et de nouvelles méthodes de réduction des charges de fatigue. 1, record 4, French, - Programme%20international%20de%20tests%20structuraux%20de%20suivi
