    •Review of dislocation dynamics simulations & micro-scale experiments of metal fatigue.•Fatigue dislocation structure evolution, size effects and crack.•Current limitations and future outlook regarding the modeling and experiments are discussed. This review paper providing a comprehensive review of insights gained from cyclic loading discrete dislocation dynamics simulations and micro-scale fatigue experiments on dislocation structure evolution, size effects on fatigue life and fatigue strength, and crack initiation/propagation in metals.
