Through the peculiar case of an automotive cylinder head, actual and forthcoming challenges for low-cycle and thermal-mechanical fatigue design in an industrial context are presented. A special focus is applied on variable loadings, constitutive models and their interaction with the environment, fatigue criteria and structure validations.
