Prediction of Fatigue Limit of Spring Steel Considering Surface Defect Size and Stress Ratio

Surface defects decrease the fatigue limit of metals. In this study, the effects of surface defects on the fatigue limit of high-strength spring steel specimens were investigated. Several equations to predict the fatigue limit of specimens with surface defects were evaluated. Specimens with a semici...
