Notes:
Results indicated that all the materials tested were able to survive a fatigue life of over 1 million cycles at stress levels equal to 30% of average MOR. Fatigue failures occurred in some materials as stress levels increased to 40% of average MOR. In general, fatigue life descreased as stress level increased and vice versa. A non-linear, power relationship appeared to adequately relate stress level and fatigue life. For furniture designs in which cyclic loading must be taken into account, it appears that allowable design stresses may be based on some percentage of MOR in order to satisfy safety and service requirements. In particular, design stress values ranging from 30% to 40% of the average MOR may provide base values for determining allowable design stresses.
