Kinetics of accumulation of damages in engineering objects, which work at repeated-alternating soft and hard modes of loading of details and elements of constructions of vehicles (cars, cars, railway transport, etc.). When changing the direction of the load force to the opposite in the structural material there is a phenomenon of changing the kinetics of accumulation of damage, ie the damage factor at separation and shear changes, which affects the effective stresses and service life of equipment. This effect of the factor of the influence of repeated variables on the redistribution of the kinetics of damage accumulation is considered experimentally for materials with different plastic properties
