For an Engineering project at BYU-Idaho, we failed climbing carabiners in 3 ways: along the major axis, the minor axis (cross-loaded), and nose-hooked.
I would like to see a test of a set of carabiners that have been stressed with a hundred minor shock loads to induce stress hardening and then see if they really have lost a significant amount of strength
