ABSTRACT

The thousands of cycles-to-failure for 35 grooved specimens of AISI 4340 steel, 35/40 hardness, subjected to fatigue tests under loads of combined reversed bending and steady torque [1,2] are contained in Table 43.1. The two-parameter lognormal model was suggested for the analysis [1,2]. Cycles-to-Failure (10<sup>3</sup>) for 35 Steel Specimens
