On the fatigue-critical amplitude of random-amplitude stress Uniaxial non-zero mean stress of constant circular frequency in the high-cycle fatigue regime is considered. It is assumed that equation of the S-N curve and modified Soderberg equation are applicable. For constant-amplitude stress, the fatigue-critical stress amplitude is defined as that which leads to failure during the required design life. For random-amplitude stress, expected values of the fatigue-critical stress amplitude and total fatigue damage accumulated during the required design life are estimated. It is found that the probability of fatigue failure is equal to the probability of exceedance of the fatigue-critical stress amplitude. As an example, for stationary random stress the equivalent random-amplitude stress and probability of fatigue failure are determined.
