Factors that Impact on Metal Fatigue Life

What you'll learn

---

Want to improve your understanding of metal fatigue? In this module the key factors that impact fatigue life are explained.

In this on-demand module, participants will be taken through:

• the difference metals such as steel, titanium and aluminium in terms of fatigue limit,

• the relationship between fatigue limit and tensile strength,

• how to improve the material from the perspective of fatigue life,

• the impact of mean stress on the fatigue life, using calculation methods such as from Schütz, Goodman and Gerber,

• how the mean stress impacts the S-N curve,

• the effect of component dimensions and the stress gradient,

• the effect of loading in bending, tension-compression and shear on the S-N curve.
