This book is written in memory of the late Prof. Mohan Narayanaswami Ranganathan, University of Tours, France, whose contributions to the fields of materials science, engineering, and fatigue have inspired generations of researchers. He had an unrelenting intellectual curiosity and a unique way of looking at things and drawing in knowledge from different areas to provide an entirely different perspective. When a given path seemed untraversable, he always managed to maneuver with his charm, charisma, and optimistic point of view. When Prof. Ranganathan passed away in 2022, he was in the procesl£h
