Failure of a material is termed as fatigue failure, if it fails below the yield point. The resistance to fatigue failure of a material is measured by the__________________?

Correct answer: B. Endurance limit

  • A. Ultimate tensile strength (U.T.S.)
  • B. Endurance limit
  • C. Elastic limit
  • D. None of these

Explanation

The endurance limit is the maximum repeated or alternating stress a material can withstand without fatigue failure, usually below its yield stress. Ultimate tensile strength measures failure under a single tensile load, not cyclic loading.
