Fatigue Life Calculator

Calculate cycles to failure using S-N curve and Basquin equation. Determine endurance limit, finite life, and safety factor for high-cycle fatigue.

Cycles to Failure
2.4 × 10⁶
σ_a = 250 MPa, S_ut = 800 MPa

S-N Curve & Fatigue Life

Featured: Basquin Equation, Endurance Limit, Cycles to Failure

Leave 0 to estimate ≈ 0.5 × S_ut

S-N Curve (High-Cycle Fatigue)

Stress vs Cycles to Failure (log scale)

Basquin Equation
σ_a = σ_f' × (2N_f)^b
b = -1/3 log(σ_f'/S_e)
σ_f' ≈ 1.5 × S_ut (approx)
