Origin of research on fatigue of metallicWilhelm August Julius Albert (1787-1846)
★ He was a mining engineer in Germany working to reduce the failure accidents of chains lifting ore and coal.
★ He had developed a special type of fatigue testing machine as shown in the figure. An edge of the chain is connected to the tip of the arm and a plate is connected to the other end. Thus, if the wheel is turning around, cyclic loads can be applied to the chain.

Extrapolation of S-N Curve for Carbon Steelinto Ultra-short Life Region (No.1)
1) Fatigue test data and S-N curve forS45C steel in conventional life regionare plotted here.
2) If the tensile strength is plotted at theordinate, sloped portion of the S-Ncurve tends to saturate as indicatedby black dashed line in the short liferegion.
3) The tensile strength at the stress ratein cyclic loadings would be muchhigher than the value in the usualtensile test.
4) If tensile strength at the higher stressrate is plotted at the ordinate, the S-Ncurve would appear linearly.
