1. Introduction
The so-called fatigue limit has
currently become the object of numerous
discussions and more recent investigations. Some
kinds of technical spring elements, especially such
as horn springs systems in automobile, are expected
to survive a very high number of cycles with high
mean as well as amplitude stresses. In order to
determine fatigue strength diagrams according to
Goodman extensive fatigue tests on helical
spring[6].
The process requires several inputs, such
as geometry, load history, environment, design
criteria, material properties and process effects.
With these inputs, fatigue design is performed
through analysis and testing. The process from
design, analysis and test is highly interactive and
iterative. The number of loops is directly related to
the quality of the inputs, and the accuracy to predict
