Governing equation

f (x) = \frac{1}{2 π 1.00} e^{- \frac{( x - 0 ) ^{2}}{2 \cdot 1.00}}

Reading this result: The mean μ only slides the bell sideways while σ sets its width — variance is σ² = 1.00, so doubling σ quadruples the spread.

Ferrous (has endurance limit)

Repeated loading well below the ultimate strength can still break a part — metal fatigue. The S-N curve plots stress amplitude against cycles to failure. Steels have an endurance limit: below it they last essentially forever, but aluminum has none and eventually fails at any stress. Cause of many catastrophic aircraft and bridge failures.

Governing equation

N = (\frac{σ _{a}}{σ _{f}^{'}})^{1/ b}, σ_{a} = 300 MPa \Rightarrow N = 1.17 e + 5 cycles

Reading this result: At 300 MPa the part fails after about 1.2e+5 cycles. Drop below the 250 MPa endurance limit to reach infinite life.
