stress-number (S-N) curve

A curve obtained in fatigue tests by subjecting a series of specimens of a given material to different ranges of stress and plotting the range of stress against the number of cycles required to produce failure. In steel and many other metals, there is a limiting range of stress below which failure will not be produced even by an indefinite number of cycles.
