What is significance of S-N curve to design machine element for finite or infinite life cycle?
Can you tell me about the significance of S-N curve in designing machine elements for finite or infinite life cycle?
Sure, the S-N curve is a graphical representation of the relationship between the number of cycles of stress and the applied stress necessary to cause failure in a material. This curve is essential in determining the design life of a machine element for a given stress level and the fatigue limit of the material.
