About this document

Understanding the SN-Curve in Fatigue Analysis by huilemoteur2020 is a document available to read on EtoBox.

A SN-Curve plots the relationship between the magnitude of an alternating stress and the number of cycles to failure for a given material. SN-Curves were developed by August Wöhler in the 19th century to understand failures of train axles under repeated cyclic stresses. Today, SN-Curves are created through coupon testing of materials under various stress levels until failure. A SN-Curve can be used to predict fatigue life and determine if a part will operate in the infinite life region where stresses are be
