Stress-life curve for high and low cycle fatigue

The paper contains a proposal of a new model for the stress-life curve. The new model reflects the nature of the stress curve occurring under current conditions, which means its shape of an inclined letter S. It can be used for both low and high cycle fatigue. Verification of the proposed model was performed on experimental results of ten various materials from three main types that are low-alloy, high-alloy and non-alloy steels.
