Abstract
► Observations are reported on polypropylene in cyclic tensile tests with stress- and strain-controlled programs. ► Fatigue failure in ratcheting tests is caused by pronounced acceleration of plastic flow. ► Severe growth of plastic strain occurs in the crystalline phase and is induced by lamellar fragmentation.
