How does the fatigue tool calculate the alternating equivalent stresses tool for the load combination between E1 and E2?

    • FAQFAQ
      Participant

      Alternating stress Salt = 0.5*(E1 – E2)) and mean stress Smean = 0.5*(E1 + E2)). The stress combinations are done first on the stress components before calculating the equivalent stresses.
