REXS Specification

Woehler S-N curves

Notice

Change from REXS version 1.3

Modeling of Woehler S-N curves is new in REXS 1.4

Woehler S-N curves are used in the fatigue strength calculations of various machine elements. Woehler S-N curves apply permissible stresses across load cycles.

A Woehler S-N curve can be assigned to the following components via a reference relation:

  • Cylindrical gears (cylindrical_gear, ring_gear)

  • Bevel gears (bevel_gear)

  • Shafts (shaft)

Multiple S-N curves can be assigned to a single component; e.g. for the root and flank load capacities. An attribute on the S-N curve is used to specify the calculation for which it can be used.
