Fatigue limit which can also be known as an endurance limit or a breaking limit. A fatigue limit is a measure of the totalamount of stress a material can repeatedly withstandor tolerate before failing or breaking. All categories of materials have some kind of fatigue load limit. Materials are tested carefully to make sure that they meet standards for use in specialised products, anapproach that aids to prevent losses or damages arising from using materials that are unsuitablefor the construction of the finished product.

What is low cycle fatigue?
According to the low cycle fatigue, the nominal maximum stress values are less than the ultimate tensile stress limit. Low cycle fatigue is failure under a stress reversal after less than 1000 cycles and generally occurs in metals where strains are very high, where stresses are in the plastic region High cycle fatigue is failure under a stress reversal after more than 1000 cycles and generally occurs in metals where strains are low, caused by defects, and growth, where stresses are in the elastic region
The fatigue strength of mild steel is?
The fatigue strength of mild steel refers to the certain conditions whereby the mild steel suffers fatigue failure.
How do you avoid fatigue failure?
Fatigue failure is the progressive failure of a material when it is repeatedly strained below its breaking point but at a level suffucient to cause fatigue. See Wikipedia article in links for lots more details. To avoid fatigue failure either: Reduce Stress Concentration (Kt) of your design. Use large radius or blend radius. For a flat plate with a hole, you can calulate the Kt. Surprisingly, you can drill a hole on each side of a hole to reduce the Kt---but it could reduce the overall static strength. Also, alter the bolt or rivet patterns. If the fatigue stress cycles from zero stress to peak stress, you can reduce the fatigue effect by raising the mean stress level. This is why it is helpful to increase the torque on a bolt. The higher torque increases the stress on the bolt so the stress will not drop to zero. Apply Shot Peen to finish of the part. This will remove any imperfections on the finish and will apply a compressive layer that helps keep a crack from initiating. There are other finishes that will also do the same. Perform a fatigue analysis using standard fatigue S-N curves and calcuate the predicted Fatigue Life of the part under the loads and spectrum that you plan for your part. Divide the calculated life by 4 and use this as the fatigue life for the part and plan to remove the part from service when it reaches this time. Suspect that since this question is in the mechanical engineering section the below answer is not the one the questioner was looking for but since it is also true..... Try not to do the same repetitive things too often. If you type on a keyboard year after year that part of your mind is going to tire out. Try new activities. Dont do the same thing all day. Get good sleep. Eat good food. Lots of fluids and fruit.
Pratical example of fatigue?
It is a little difficult to find a simple example of fatigue. For most common items, there is no investigation into the cause of failure so we don't know what caused it. We simple through the part away and get another one. If the pedal on our bicycle breaks, we just throw it away and get a new one; no questions asked. The earliest example of fatigue failure is the failure of an axle. There are some much early examples but even going back to the beginning of the 20th Century, there were some train crashes that was due to failure of the axle or the axle-to-wheel joint. This is a common example because an axle is a long rod that is bent. So as the train rolls, the axle is bent one direction and then the opposite as it revolves. A train can travel for hundreds of miles and thousands upon thousands of revolutions. Also, the early axle/wheel designs had sharp corners that also contributed to fatigue failure as it raises the stress at the joint. I find another example of fatigue laying on the street. If you look around you will find lug nuts from a car's wheel. It will have the lug nut and the stud that it was threaded on both together. The stud will be broken and inside the nut. The fracture surface of the stud or lug will have features that signify a fatigue failure. You may have to inspect it under a 10X magnifying glass to see this (or ask an engineer to show you). This failure of the lug nut experience a fatigue failure either because of repeated torquing of the nut when installing the wheel OR by the same factors as described about the train axle/wheel failures. Maybe the wheel is warped and it is applying high repeated loads to the lug nut. This is a practical example but may require someone who can identify it as a fatigure failure. Some websites will give as a simple example of fatigue failure is the bending of a paper clip or a wire coat hanger. This is NOT FATIGUE. When you bend a paper clip or coat hanger back and forth you are Yielding the part or deforming it permanently. Loads that produce fatigue failure do not bend the part; the load just applies stress and then relieves the stress. When you bend a coat hangar back and forth you may feel heat at the bend---that indicates the properties of the metal is being affected by other means. This is not Fatigue.
What are all the types of stress?

Is fatigue common for Coronary Stenting?
Fatigue and weakness are common after the procedure. The patient should limit activities for the first two days after the procedure and can gradually resume normal activities by the end of the week.

Is there a time limit you can have in one tattoo sitting?
Yes. This time limit is how long you can sit still enough for the artist to work on you. Obviously, two hours or more sitting still for the artist or the client would start causing fatigue and irritability.

What is elastic fatigue?
eLASTIC FATIGUE IS A FATIGUE CAUSED BY ELASTICITY
If you run or ride a bicycle as fast as you can your muscles may begin to fual weak and have a buring senation explain what is occurring that accounts for this muscle fatigue?
this is the cause of lactic acid buildup, this is your body's way of saying you've reached your limit. If you want to extend this limit, you need to push the limit and keep doing it every time.
What is one flight cycle of a airplane?
A flight cycle is a take-off and landing. Airlines keep track of the Flight Time (hours) and Flight Cycles on the airframe and the same for the Engines. Flight Cycles are primarily important for tracking the time on the Landing Gear. The parts on the gear have a Safe Life Limit calculated by the manufacturer based upon fatigue tests and stress analysis. This limit represents the amount of cycles it can be flown before it will begin to develop fatigue cracks. Once the landing gear part reaches that cycle limit, it has to be removed and scrapped. The manufacturer analyzes the gear using various loads such as landing loads, taxiing loads, braking loads, turning loads and calculates a fatigue life for the part. They usually then divide this calculated fatigue life by 4 and this becomes the Safe Life Limit. Dividing by 4 is a safety factor to allow for variations of manufacture and environmental unknowns and statistical scatter in their data. The Airframe is also tested in a fatigue test for 2 or 3 times the time it will be in service. Many airframes have a 90,000 flight cycle limit. Some more. Helicopters will be less. This airframe life limit takes into account air pressure on the fuselage as it cycles from ground to high altitude. Also, a short test flight is counted as 1 flight cycle.
