The top 10 most influential articles in Very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) have been indentified from web of science data. The attributes of the top 10 papers have been discussed. It was found that specialty area of fatigue called as “VHCF” is an emerging field. The most cited papers discussed the two the fatigue crack mechanism in fatigue. It was found that crack initiation shifts from surface to subsurface if the material beyond 107 cycles. There are some models which can predict the fatigue life of the material however the exact estimation is still challenging. Hence, it was found that still further efforts are required in the field to accurately understand the VHCF behavior.

The most influential articles in Very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) during last 20 years have been identified from web of science data. It has been found that VHCF is an important category of fatigue damage and has produced the highest impact in the field. The number of articles and their citations is continuously increasing in the overall published papers in the field of fatigue. In VHCF field, it was found that the participants of VHCF conferences from VHCF 1 to 5 are the main contributors in all the VHCF papers and in its top 100 influential papers. Majority of the articles were experimental studies. The fatigue crack initiation in the VHCF domain is considered the most important area in the field. In VHCF, the most influential papers till date have been identified. This may prove helpful to trainees mastering the most influential literature of the field as well as more established professionals searching for starting points for new investigations

The fatigue damage behavior of three two-phase steels in the very high cycle fatigue regime (VHCF >108cycles) has been studied by both fatigue testing and microstructural investigation using SEM and TEM. The results show that the S-N curves can vary from a single to multi S-N curves, and there is also a transition of fatigue crack initiation from surface defect, subsurface defect such as inclusion to subsurface non defect area or matrix depending on the steel grades and its conditions. The surface crack initiation is caused by formation of irreversible slip bands at the free surface or around surface defect. Subsurface inclusion crack initiation is mainly caused by strain localization (slip bands) emanating at subsurface inclusion. Crack initiation in the subsurface non defect area occurs in the areas that are physically weak. It is also a fatigue damage process caused by micro cyclic plastic deformation. Formation of subsurface non defect fatigue crack origin is a crack initiation and propagation process.

In very high cycle fatigue, VHCF, regime, fatigue crack initiation can occur at subsurface defects such as inclusion or subsurface non-defect (matrix) origin. This paper provides a study on the fatigue crack initiation mechanisms at subsurface non-defect (matrix) origin in two metallic materials using electron backscatter diffraction and electron channeling contrast imaging. The results show that the strains in the material in the VHCF regime were highly localized, where the local maximum strain is greatly higher than the average strain value. This high strain localization can lead to the formation of fine grain zone and also fatigue damage or fatigue crack initiation at grain boundaries or twin boundaries by impingement cracking. High strain localization is caused by strain accumulation of each very small loading, and also increases the local hardness of the material. This may start quasi-cleavage crack origin, and consequently the formation of subsurface fatigue crack initiations. The results also show that fatigue damage and crack initiation mechanisms in the VHCF regime can be different in different metals due to the mechanisms for local plasticity exhaustion.
