Tensile fatigue behavior of a hot-isostatically-pressed (HIPed) silicon nitride was investigated over ranges of constant stresses, constant stressing rates, and cyclic loading at 1150--1370[degrees]C. At 1150[degrees]C, static and dynamic fatigue failures were governed by slow crack growth mechanism. Creep rupture was the dominant failure mechanism in static fatigue at 1260 and 1370[degrees]C. A transition of failure mechanism from slow crack growth to creep rupture appeared at stressing rates [le]10[sup [minus]2] MPa/s for dynamic fatigue at 1260 and 1370[degrees]C. At 1150--1370[degrees]C, cyclic loading appeared to be less damaging than static loading as cyclic fatigue specimens last longer than static fatigue specimens under the same maximum stresses.
