Material Fatigue API
Mechanical-fatigue engineering maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The stress-cycle endpoint decomposes a cyclic load given by its maximum and minimum stress into the alternating stress σa = (σmax − σmin)/2, the mean stress σm = (σmax + σmin)/2, the stress range and the stress ratio R = σmin/σmax, and names the loading (fully reversed at R = −1, repeated at R = 0). The criteria endpoint computes the infinite-life safety factor against fatigue using the three classic mean-stress theories — Goodman (1/n = σa/Se + σm/Sut, standard and safe), Soderberg (uses the yield strength, conservative) and Gerber (a parabola, least conservative) — from the alternating and mean stress, the endurance limit Se, the ultimate strength Sut and an optional yield strength. The endurance-limit endpoint estimates the corrected endurance limit Se = ka·kb·kc·kd·ke·Se' from the ultimate strength, with Se' = 0.5·Sut for steel and the Marin modifying factors for surface finish, size, load type, temperature and reliability. Stresses and strengths use any one consistent unit (MPa is typical). Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for mechanical, structural, automotive and aerospace-design app developers, durability and safety-factor tools, and engineering education. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is fatigue and endurance; for static stress transformation use a Mohr-circle API and for column buckling a buckling API.
