Abstract

The fatigue strength of 40X steel at 25 oC was determined following ASTM E606M standard for strain-controlled tests. The studied experimental dependence was modelled with a power function as well as with the functions and coefficients described in the standard. The material expresses plastic properties for cyclic loadings above 0.2% strain amplitude.
