What is Fatigue Strength?

Fatigue strength is the maximum stress a material can handle when loaded many times. Think of it like bending a paper clip back and forth. At first, it's fine, but after many bends, it breaks. That's fatigue.

Materials get weak when they face the same stress over and over. Engineers need to know this limit to make safe products. Our fatigue strength converter helps change between different stress units like MPa, PSI, and ksi.

Key Points:

  • Fatigue happens when materials face repeated stress
  • Even small stress can cause failure over time
  • Different materials have different fatigue limits
  • Temperature and environment affect fatigue strength
  • Proper design prevents fatigue failures

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between MPa and PSI?

MPa (Megapascal) is a metric unit, while PSI (Pounds per Square Inch) is an imperial unit. 1 MPa equals about 145 PSI. Engineers use MPa in most countries, but PSI is common in the United States.

How do I convert ksi to MPa?

To convert ksi (kilopounds per square inch) to MPa, multiply by 6.895. For example: 50 ksi ร— 6.895 = 344.7 MPa. Our converter does this math automatically.

Why is fatigue strength important?

Fatigue strength helps prevent sudden failures. Many accidents happen because parts break from repeated stress. Knowing fatigue limits keeps people safe and saves money on repairs.

What materials have high fatigue strength?

Steel, titanium, and some aluminum alloys have good fatigue strength. Carbon fiber composites also perform well. The exact value depends on the specific material and how it's made.

How accurate is this converter?

Our fatigue strength converter uses standard conversion factors and is very accurate. It's suitable for engineering calculations, homework, and professional work.

Can I use this for all stress calculations?

Yes, this converter works for any stress unit conversion, not just fatigue strength. You can use it for tensile strength, yield strength, and other material properties.
