  2. Fatigue limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatigue_limit

    The fatigue limit or endurance limit is the stress level below which an infinite number of loading cycles can be applied to a material without causing fatigue failure. [1] Some metals such as ferrous alloys and titanium alloys have a distinct limit, [ 2 ] whereas others such as aluminium and copper do not and will eventually fail even from ...

  3. Goodman relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodman_relation

    Within the branch of materials science known as material failure theory, the Goodman relation (also called a Goodman diagram, a Goodman-Haigh diagram, a Haigh diagram or a Haigh-Soderberg diagram) is an equation used to quantify the interaction of mean and alternating stresses on the fatigue life of a material. [1]

  4. Fatigue (material) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatigue_(material)

    For some materials, notably steel and titanium, there is a theoretical value for stress amplitude below which the material will not fail for any number of cycles, called a fatigue limit or endurance limit. [25] However, in practice, several bodies of work done at greater numbers of cycles suggest that fatigue limits do not exist for any metals.

  5. 6061 aluminium alloy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6061_aluminium_alloy

    The fatigue limit under cyclic load is 97 MPa (14 ksi) for 500,000,000 completely reversed cycles using a standard RR Moore test machine and specimen. [12] Note that aluminium does not exhibit a well defined "knee" on its S-N curve , so there is some debate as to how many cycles equates to "infinite life".

  6. Rainflow-counting algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainflow-counting_algorithm

    Rainflow counting identifies the closed cycles in a stress-strain curve. The rainflow-counting algorithm is used in calculating the fatigue life of a component in order to convert a loading sequence of varying stress into a set of constant amplitude stress reversals with equivalent fatigue damage.

  7. Aluminium alloy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_alloy

    An important structural limitation of aluminium alloys is their lower fatigue strength compared to steel. In controlled laboratory conditions, steels display a fatigue limit, which is the stress amplitude below which no failures occur – the metal does not continue to weaken with extended stress cycles. Aluminium alloys do not have this lower ...

  8. 7075 aluminium alloy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7075_aluminium_alloy

    7075 aluminium alloy (AA7075) is an aluminium alloy with zinc as the primary alloying element. It has excellent mechanical properties and exhibits good ductility, high strength, toughness, and good resistance to fatigue.

  9. Corrosion fatigue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion_fatigue

    A fatigue threshold (or limit) is seen in curve A, corresponding to the horizontal part of the curve. Curves B and C represent the fatigue behavior of the same material in two corrosive environments. In curve B, the fatigue failure at high stress levels is retarded, and the fatigue limit is eliminated.
