Abstract DetailedS-N curves are presented for two modes of fatigue testing characterized by different minimum-to-maximum stress ratios,R. The endurance limit, or maximum applied stress below which there were no failures, increased from 46% UTS for R = −1 to 64% UTS for R=0, or from 116 to 162 kg cm−2. Thus, as the stress range narrowed for a given maximum stress, the endurance limit increased with mean stress. For ATJ specimens of a given tensile strengthσ i, the smallest value of maximum applied stress, σA, at which fatigue cracks propagated was defined byσ A/σ i ratios of 0.60 and 0.85 for R=−1 and R=0, respectively. In addition, selected fatigue tests were conducted for several mean compressive stresses in order to complete the definition of a Goodman diagram for ATJ graphite.
