Quick guide

How to use this calculator

  1. Choose the analysis mode that matches the physical model before entering values.
  2. Enter properties, geometry, loads, states and coefficients from one consistent unit and sign convention.
  3. Use the intermediate outputs to audit the relationship, then retain the stated idealization before applying it.

Calculation method

Transparent engineering model

Kt=σmax/σnom; Basquin and Coffin–Manson use entered curve constants; Miner damage is Σni/Ni.

The calculator evaluates only the declared relationship and preserves visitor-entered assumptions rather than selecting materials, factors, components or standards.

Worked example

Worked example

A nominal stress of 100 MPa and a measured local maximum of 250 MPa gives Kt=2.5.

Kt=σmax/σnom; Basquin and Coffin–Manson use entered curve constants; Miner damage is Σni/Ni.

Supported inputs

Precision and limits

Analysis, not approval

Fatigue depends on surface, size, environment, residual stress, spectrum, mean stress and test method. No universal material curve or fatigue-life approval is provided.

Standards and properties

Material properties, allowable values, load combinations, safety factors, correlations, manufacturer data, codes and jurisdictional requirements are not supplied automatically.

Units and precision

Use one consistent unit basis. Results retain working precision but cannot be more accurate than the entered measurements and properties.
