Fatigue Life (S-N Curve)

Estimates cycles to failure (or allowable stress amplitude) from a simplified log-log S-N line between 10³ and 10⁶ cycles. Needs ultimate strength (Sut), endurance limit (Se), and the fraction f (typically ~0.9) locating the high-cycle end of the line.

log N (cycles) log S f·Sut, 10³ Se, 10⁶ S = a·N^b (straight line, log-log)
Simplified S-N line from 10³ to 10⁶ cycles.
