fatigue life

noun

1. the number of applications of a given stress to which a sample of metal can be subjected before failing.

Example Sentences

His brother, Michael Isaacman, told Forbes that the businessman is “a big believer that we all have a limited fatigue life, so let’s do the most amazing things that we can while we’re alive”.

From BBC

Existing rules for fatigue life prediction, such as the linear cumulative damage rule1,9, cannot account for the effect of loading history, and engineering components are often loaded by complex cyclic stresses with variable amplitudes, mean values and frequencies10,11, such as aircraft wings in turbulent air.

From Nature

It is therefore usually extremely challenging to predict cyclic behaviour and fatigue life under a realistic load spectrum1,11.
