Abstract
MANY investigators, particularly L. F. Coffin, have found that the high-strain fatigue endurance of a wide range of metals and alloys is represented by a law of the following type: where ɛ is the plastic strain-range, N is the number of cycles to cause rupture, ɛ0 is the unidirectional strain-at-rupture.
