DNVGL RP C203 Fatigue

Calculate DNVGL-RP-C203 fatigue allowable number of cyles from stress amplitude, or allowable stress amplitude from number of cycles.

The calculated SN curves include reduction factors for temperature, thickness, and system effects. The stress concentration factor is in addition to the embedded SCF factors. A user defined SCf is often used with a base curve with embedded SCF = 1, such as curve D. The design fatigue factor (DFF) can be used to account for accessibility and other risk factors. The DFF is applied to the number of cycles, and shifts the apparent SN curve to the left. Use the Result Plot option to display the selected SN curve.

CALCULATOR : DNVGL RP C203 Section 2.4 Fatigue SN Curves [FREE]   ±

Calculate allowable stress amplitude from the number of stress cycles, or allowable number of stress cycles from the stress amplitude (DNVGL-RP-C203 section 2.4).

The SN curves include allowances for design temperature, material thickness and system effects. The design fatigue factor (DFF) is taken from DNVGL OS C101. The stress concentration factor is in addition to any embedded factor in the SN curve. Enter stress values as nominal stress amplitude.
