Over the decades, the ISSC committee “Fatigue and Fracture” has been a major contributor to address the impertinence of good science work within the field. Fatigue and fracture mechanics have been an area with high focus on research the last 50 years with several books, publications and conferences covering these topics. Fatigue failure of structures has caused fatalities. The first known and highly addressed accident, which caused loss of several human lives, was the Versailles Railway accident in 1842. Almost 110 years after this accident, a meeting was held in London, U.K., with the most distinguished fatigue specialists at that time. They concluded that even in 1956 it was not a practical proposition to present a detail overview of the topics of metal fatigue since there was already “at least 4 books in the English language” addressing this topic. It is important to notice that the subject is vast and the committee can therefore not cover all topics related to fatigue and fracture. Hence, the topics in the current report have been selected based on the knowledge and interest of the members of the committee. The report is an overview and sometimes detailed description of recent activities within the offshore and ship industry with focus on the latest research on fatigue and fracture. More than 270 publications have been reviewed and referenced. The committee has been in contact with several of the other committees in order to prevent duplications of work within ISSC.
