Appendix 3 Design For Fatigue

This document provides guidance on fatigue design for welded details, mechanically fastened joints, and wrought materials. It outlines requirements for constant and variable amplitude loading. For constant amplitude loading, the applied stress range must be less than the allowable stress range, as defined by an equation using cycle life constants. For variable amplitude loading, the equivalent stress range must also be less than the allowable stress range, as defined by another equation incorporating the stress spectrum and cycle life constants. Fatigue design of castings requires testing.
