Fatigue is the Initiation, formation and propagation of cracks in a material due to cyclic loads. The failure occurs due to the cyclic nature of the load which causes microscopic material imperfections to grow into a macroscopic crack. This phenomenon mainly happens but due to multiple load cycles which causes components to lose their strength and get tired, hence it is called fatigue.
Once a fatigue crack has initiated, it grows a small amount with each loading cycle and it will continue to grow until it reaches a critical size, which occurs when the stress intensity factor of the crack exceeds the fracture toughness of the material, producing rapid propagation and typically complete fracture of the structure.

3. Conduct literature review

11. Conduct literature review
Finished?

12. Start the paper
even before I do the study??

14. Start the paper
•Draft the Introduction
perhaps borrow from a study protocol or
grant proposal that you already wrote
•Draft dummy table shells and figure
axes for Results.

15. Conduct study/analyze data
Now it’s time to write the first draft,
right?
Maybe not.

16. Organize/summarize results succinctly
•Fill in dummy tables and figures with real data.
•Draft additional tables and figures if needed – look
at published articles for potential templates.
•Summarize each table/figure in a single sentence.

17. Get early, frequent feedback
in "chunks"

18. Get early, frequent feedback
•Share your tables/figures and single-sentence
summaries to coauthors/colleagues. Ask if they
are clear/concise/compelling.
•Give presentations to colleagues at work, at
conferences.
•Try to formulate a concise key message.

20. Please listen carefully to what I
am about to say. . .
Don’t wait for a complete draft to begin
getting feedback.

21. Thanks for your detailed and lengthy criticism of my
manuscript. I’ll be sure to incorporate your suggestions into
my next draft.

22. Formulate your key message
•Keep it simple; try to boil down to a single
sentence.
•Your message must contain something new
and useful.
•Make sure your results support your key
message.
•The message may change as you develop
the paper.

23. Apply the “new/useful” test

but not enough to warrant space in the BMJ
•the message is not useful enough in practice
