What is Soderberg Line ?

The Soderberg line is a graphical representation used in fatigue analysis to predict the failure of materials under fluctuating loads. It defines the boundary between safe and unsafe operating conditions, combining both the material's yield strength and its fatigue strength. In this line, the mean stress and alternating stress are plotted, and the line represents the condition where a material will fail. The Soderberg line is considered a conservative approach to ensure safety in designs subjected to cyclic loading.
