        abstract = {Fatigue behavior of a component greatly depends on its shape, size and surface irregularities. Geometrical changes in any component would alter its life.
The presented work is related to failure of strips when geometrical change is implemented on thin metallic strip. The experimental investigation carried out with in-house built test rig for thin metallic strips. The test specimen standardized and geometrical entities implemented of different strips. Testing is done on market available sheets of mild steel.
This work involves a study of fatigue life on various strips of size 180mm*10 mm with different profile on them. The geometry goes from lower order to higher order of complexity in shape and profile.  A comparative study is done based on data acquired from testing which is in numbers of cycles. For better understanding test is also carried out by making notch on specimen and compared with obtained data for various profiled specimen.
