We studied the effect of pore size distribution and loading direction on fatigue property of lotus-type porous copper with anisotropic pore structure. The fatigue strength at finite life is closely related to its pore morphology. The strength depends on applied stress direction; the fatigue life is the longest in the direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of cylindrical pores. Abnormally large pores decrease the fatigue strength of lotus copper.
