Fatigue life Another important parameter that characterizes a material’s fatigue behavior is fatigue life Nf . It is the number of cycles to cause failure at a specified stress level, as taken from the S–N plot (Figure 9.25b). Creep Materials are often placed in service at elevated temperatures and exposed to static mechanical stresses (e.g., turbine rotors in jet engines and steam generators that experience centrifugal stresses, and high-pressure steam lines). Deformation under such circumstances is termed creep. Defined as the time-dependent and permanent deformation of materials when sub
