Aluminium-lithium alloys, like many other aerospace structural alloys, exhibit bilinearity in power-law relationships between high strain, low cycle fatigue life (in terms of number of reversals to failure, 2N{sub f}) and plastic strain amplitude ({Delta}{epsilon}{sub p}/2) or average stress amplitude ({Delta}{sigma}/2) or average plastic strain energy per cycle ({Delta}W{sub p}). In the present paper the micromechanisms leading to bilinear fatigue power-law relationships, especially the Coffin-Manson (C-M) relationship, in aluminium-lithium alloys are compiled and discussed.
