1、Designation: E739 10Standard Practice forStatistical Analysis of Linear or Linearized Stress-Life (S-N)and Strain-Life (-N) Fatigue Data1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E739; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case o

2、f revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice covers only S-N and -N relationships thatmay be reasonably approximated by a str

3、aight line (on appro-priate coordinates) for a specific interval of stress or strain. Itpresents elementary procedures that presently reflect goodpractice in modeling and analysis. However, because the actualS-N or -N relationship is approximated by a straight line onlywithin a specific interval of

4、stress or strain, and because theactual fatigue life distribution is unknown, it is not recom-mended that (a) the S-N or -N curve be extrapolated outsidethe interval of testing, or (b) the fatigue life at a specific stressor strain amplitude be estimated below approximately the fifthpercentile (P .

5、0.05). As alternative fatigue models andstatistical analyses are continually being developed, laterrevisions of this practice may subsequently present analysesthat permit more complete interpretation of S-N and -N data.2.

Moreover, the straight-line approxima

Significan

Statistical analysis applies when the given data can bereasonably assumed to be a random sample of (or representa-tion of) some specific defined population or univ

13、erse ofmaterial of interest (under specific test conditions), and it isdesired either to characterize the material or to predict theperformance of future random samples of the material (undersimilar test conditions), or both.1This practice is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee E08 on Fatigue an

Types of S-N and -N Curves Considered5.1 It is well known that the shape of S-N and -N curvescan depend markedly on the material and test conditions. Thispractice is restricted to line

17、ar or linearized S-N and -Nrelationships, for example,log N 5 A 1 B S! or (1)log N 5 A 1 B ! orlog N 5 A 1 B log S! or (2)log N 5 A 1 B log !in which S and may refer to (a) the maximum value ofconstant-amplitude cyclic stress or strain, given a specificvalue of the stress or strain ratio, or of the

18、minimum cyclicstress or strain, (b) the amplitude or the range of the constant-amplitude cyclic stress or strain, given a specific value of themean stress or strain, or (c) analogous information stated interms of some appropriate independent (controlled) variable.NOTE 1In certain cases, the amplitud

19、e of the stress or strain is notconstant during the entire test for a given specimen. In such cases someeffective (equivalent) value of S or must be established for use inanalysis.5.1.1 The fatigue life N is the dependent (random) variablein S-N and -N tests, whereas S or is the independent(controll

20、ed) variable.NOTE 2In certain cases, the independent variable used in analysis isnot literally the variable controlled during testing. For example, it iscommon practice to analyze low-cycle fatigue data treating the range ofplastic strain as the controlled variable, when in fact the range of totalst

21、rain was actually controlled during testing. Although there may be somequestion regarding the exact nature of the controlled variable in certainS-N and -N tests, there is never any doubt that the fatigue life is thedependent variable.NOTE 3In plotting S-N and -N curves, the independent variables San

22、d are plotted along the ordinate, with life (the dependent variable)plotted along the abscissa. Refer, for example, to Fig. 1.5.1.2 The distribution of fatigue life (in any test) is unknown(and indeed may be quite complex in certain situations). Forthe purposes of simplifying the analysis (while mai

23、ntainingsound statistical procedures), it is assumed in this practice thatthe logarithms of the fatigue lives are normally distributed, thatis, the fatigue life is log-normally distributed, and that thevariance of log life is constant over the entire range of theindependent variable used in testing

24、(that is, the scatter in logNOTE 1The 95 % confidence band for the -N curve as a whole is based on Eq 10. (Note that the dependent variable, fatigue life, is plotted herealong the abscissa to conform to engineering convention.)FIG. 1 Fitted Relationship Between the Fatigue Life N (Y) and the Plastic

25、 Strain Amplitude Dp/2 (X) for the Example Data GivenE739 102N is assumed to be the same at low S and levels as at highlevels of S or ). Accordingly, log N is used as the dependent(random) variable in analysis. It is denoted Y. The independentvariable is denoted X. It may be either S or ,orlogS or l

26、og, respectively, depending on which appears to produce astraight line plot for the interval of S or of interest. Thus Eq1 and Eq 2 may be re-expressed asY 5 A 1 BX (3)Eq 3 is used in subsequent analysis. It may be stated moreprecisely as Y ? X= A + BX, where Y ? Xis the expected valueof Y given X.N

27、OTE 4For testing the adequacy of the linear model, see 8.2.NOTE 5The expected value is the mean of the conceptual populationof all Ys given a specific level of X. (The median and mean are identicalfor the symmetrical normal distribution assumed in this practice for Y.)6. Test Planning6.1 Test planni

28、ng for S-N and -N test programs is discussedin Chapter 3 of Ref (1).4Planned grouping (blocking) andrandomization are essential features of a well-planned testprogram. In particular, good test methodology involves use ofplanned grouping to (a) balance potentially spurious effects ofnuisance variable

29、s (for example, laboratory humidity) and (b)allow for possible test equipment malfunction during the testprogram.7. Sampling7.1 It is vital that sampling procedures be adopted thatassure a random sample of the material being tested.Arandomsample is required to state that the test specimens are repre

30、-sentative of the conceptual universe about which both statisti-cal and engineering inference will be made.NOTE 6A random sampling procedure provides each specimen thatconceivably could be selected (tested) an equal (or known) opportunity ofactually being selected at each stage of the sampling proce

31、ss. Thus, it ispoor practice to use specimens from a single source (plate, heat, supplier)when seeking a random sample of the material being tested unless thatparticular source is of specific interest.NOTE 7Procedures for using random numbers to obtain randomsamples and to assign stress or strain am

32、plitudes to specimens (and toestablish the time order of testing) are given in Chapter 4 of Ref (2).7.1.1 Sample SizeThe minimum number of specimensrequired in S-N (and -N) testing depends on the type of testprogram conducted. The following guidelines given in Chapter3ofRef(1) appear reasonable.Type

34、 unless a largenumber of specimens are tested (See 8.1.1).7.1.2 ReplicationThe replication guidelines given inChapter 3 of Ref (1) are based on the following definition:% replication = 100 1 (total number of different stress or strain levels usedin testing/total number of specimens tested)Type of Te

36、r ofspecimens tested that may be used for obtaining an estimate of the variability ofreplicate tests.7.1.2.1 Replication ExamplesGood replication: Supposethat ten specimens are used in research and development forthe testing of a component. If two specimens are tested at eachof five stress or strain

37、 amplitudes, the test program involves50 % replications. This percent replication is considered ad-equate for most research and development applications. Poorreplication: Suppose eight different stress or strain amplitudesare used in testing, with two replicates at each of two stress orstrain amplit

38、udes (and no replication at the other six stress orstrain amplitudes). This test program involves only 20 %replication, which is not generally considered adequate.8. Statistical Analysis (Linear Model Y = A + BX, Log-Normal Fatigue Life Distribution with ConstantVariance Along the Entire Interval of

39、 X Used inTesting, No Runouts or Suspended Tests or Both,Completely Randomized Design Test Program)8.1 For the case where (a) the fatigue life data pertain to arandom sample (all Yiare independent), (b) there are neitherrun-outs nor suspended tests and where, for the entire intervalof X used in test

40、ing, (c) the S-N or -N relationship is describedby the linear model Y=A+BX (more precisely by Y ? X= A+BX), (d) the (two parameter) log-normal distributiondescribes the fatigue life N, and (e) the variance of thelog-normal distribution is constant, the maximum likelihoodestimators of A and B are as

41、follows: 5 Y2 BX(4)B5(i 5 1kXi2 X! Yi2 Y!(i 5 1kXi2 X!2(5)where the symbol “caret”()denotes estimate (estimator),the symbol “overbar”( ) denotes average (for example, Y=( i 5 1kYi/k and X=(i 5 1kXi/k), Yi= log Ni, Xi= Sior i,orlog Sior log i(refer to Eq 1 and Eq 2), and k is the totalnumber of test

42、specimens (the total sample size). The recom-mended expression for estimating the variance of the normaldistribution for log N iss25(i 5 1kYi2 Yi!2k 2 2(6)in which Yi= + BXiand the (k 2) term in the denomi-nator is used instead of k to make s2an unbiased estimator ofthe normal population variance s2

43、.4The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to the list of references appended tothis standard.E739 103NOTE 8An assumption of constant variance is usually reasonable fornotched and joint specimens up to about 106cycles to failure.The varianceof unnotched specimens generally increases with decreasing

44、 stress (strain)level (see Section 9). If the assumption of constant variance appears to bedubious, the reader is referred to Ref (3) for the appropriate statistical test.8.1.1 Confidence Intervals for Parameters A and BTheestimators and Bare normally distributed with expectedvalues A and B, respect

45、ively, (regardless of total sample size k)when conditions (a) through (e)in8.1 are met. Accordingly,confidence intervals for parameters A and B can be establishedusing the t distribution, Table 1. The confidence interval for Ais given by 6 tps,or 6 tpsF1k1X2(i 5 1kXi2 X!2G, (7)and for B is given by

46、B6 tpsB,orB6 tps (i 5 1kXi2 X!2#2(8)in which the value of tpis read from Table 1 for the desiredvalue of P, the confidence level associated with the confidenceinterval. This table has one entry parameter (the statisticaldegrees of freedom, n, for t ). For Eq 7 and Eq 8, n = k 2.NOTE 9The confidence

47、intervals for A and B are exact if conditions(a) through (e)in8.1 are met exactly. However, these intervals are stillreasonably accurate when the actual life distribution differs slightly fromthe (two-parameter) log-normal distribution, that is, when only condition(d) is not met exactly, due to the

48、robustness of the t statistic.NOTE 10Because the actual median S-N or -N relationship is onlyapproximated by a straight line within a specific interval of stress or strain,confidence intervals for A and B that pertain to confidence levels greaterthan approximately 0.95 are not recommended.8.1.1.1 Th

49、e meaning of the confidence interval associatedwith, say, Eq 8 is as follows (Note 11). If the values of tpgivenin Table 1 for, say, P = 95 % are used in a series of analysesinvolving the estimation of B from independent data sets, thenin the long run we may expect 95 % of the computed intervalsto include the value B. If in each instance we were to assert thatB lies within the interval computed, we should expect to becorrect 95 times in 100 and in error 5 times in
