Abstract: The role of the collective behavior of defect ensembles in prestrained samples of an Al-Cu alloy was studied under fatigue testing conditions (preset load level) that corresponded to thte basic fatigue life of the given material (about 2 $\times$ 10$^5$ cycles). The surface relief of deformed samples was examined in a New-View interferometer profilometer so as to reveal the scaling-invariant laws of defect-related structure evolution.
