Intrinsic Fatigue and Creep Resistance as Structural Admissibility Conditions for Load-Bearing Materials

Description (Abstract) This work establishes intrinsic fatigue resistance and intrinsic creep resistance as necessary structural admissibility conditions for load-bearing materials and material systems that claim long-term reliability, service life, structural integrity, or operational safety under sustained or cyclic stress. The analysis is non-constructive and does not disclose any specific compositions, microstructures, processing routes, heat treatments, or design rules. Instead, it formalizes a boundary condition under which a claimed material identity must preserve load-bearing integrity across relevant operational time scales without relying primarily on procedural life-extension rituals, narrow duty-cycle avoidance, inspection-driven replacement governance, or probabilistic survivability management. The framework constrains patentability at the level of enablement, inventive step, and industrial applicability, and applies uniformly across materials domains. This document functions as prior art defining admissibility, not as a technical teaching.
