The is a definitive engineering reference published by ASM International . Edited by Howard E. Boyer, this 518-page volume consolidates over 500 fatigue curves for a vast range of industrial ferrous and nonferrous alloys into a single, comprehensive source. Core Content and Scope
This reference is available through technical publishers and academic bookstores:
: It covers low-carbon and alloy steels, stainless steels, cast irons, and heat-resisting alloys, as well as aluminum, copper, titanium, and magnesium alloys.
: Software like SOLIDWORKS Simulation explicitly references the Atlas of Fatigue Curves as a primary source for its S-N material database.
: Many curves illustrate the effects of critical variables such as temperature, humidity, surface hardening, frequency, and environmental conditions.
: It includes standard S-N curves (Stress vs. Number of cycles), crack growth-rate curves, and comparative charts showing fatigue strengths across different alloys.
