Endurance Limit of Specimen Formula Elements

Variables
Endurance Limit
The Endurance Limit of a material is defined as the stress below which a material can endure an infinite number of repeated load cycles without exhibiting failure.
Symbol: Se
Measurement: StressUnit: N/mm²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Surface Finish Factor
The Surface Finish Factor takes into account the reduction in endurance limit due to variation in the surface finish between the specimen and the actual component.
Symbol: Ka
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Size Factor
The Size Factor takes into account the reduction in endurance limit due to an increase in the size of the component.
Symbol: Kb
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Reliabilty Factor
Reliabilty Factor accounts for the reliability that is used in the design of the component.
Symbol: Kc
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Modifying Factor for Stress Concentration
The Modifying Factor for Stress Concentration accounts for the effect of stress concentration on a specimen for cyclic loading.
Symbol: Kd
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Endurance Limit of Rotating Beam Specimen
Endurance Limit of Rotating Beam Specimen is the maximum value of the completely reversed stress for which the specimen can sustain for an infinite number of cycles without any fatigue failure.
Symbol: S'e
Measurement: StressUnit: N/mm²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
