Hello everyone, I need to add the S-N values of materials to calculate the Safety Factor in my analyses, but I can hardly find them anywhere. Is there an easier way to calculate the Safety Factor? Or how can I easily access the S-N values of materials? Could you please help me? Thank you in advance.

Hey, 
If you have access to Ansys Granta (Ansys Granta: Materials Information Management) you can check it out - this tool has a extensive library of material properties.
If not, there is no easy way of finding it. If you don't see it the engineering data in Ansys which contains SN curves for basic materials - try searching in scientific journals, ASM handbooks, research papers.
