Fatigue Test Lab Report

This document contains a lab report on a fatigue test with results for steel, brass, and aluminum. It provides fatigue data in terms of stress, cycles to failure, and asks to make S-N plots on a log-log scale for brass and steel alloy. It also asks to determine the fatigue life at given stresses, the endurance limit, and estimate fatigue strengths at specified cycles from the S-N plots.
