%X An increase of testing frequency to reduce the testing time could affect the fatigue behavior of metallic materials. The current paper investigates the effect of testing frequency on the high and very high cycle fatigue behavior of AA2024, Ti-6Al-4V, and Inconel 718 alloys tested at 20, 90, and 1000 Hz. To quantify the effect of testing frequency a two-parameter Weibull distribution and Basquin’s equation were utilized as well as the threshold stress intensity factor range was determined. Fatigue crack initiation sites were evaluated on the fracture surface with respect to different testing frequencies. The results showed that changes in the testing frequency significantly influence the mechanical response of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy, while no substantial impact on the fatigue properties of AA2024 and Inconel 718 alloys was identified. The findings of the study contribute to a more complete knowledge of the frequency sensitivity of the alloys and provide valuable insights for the design and evaluation of materials used in high-frequency applications.
