Monotonic strength values of materials like Yield Strength or Ultimate Tensile Strength are usually determined with well-defined and well-established testing equipment and sample geometries. For many materials, a wide database exists which accelerates statistical analyses and determination of minimum values, however, cyclic stress-strain curves do not benefit from such an established knowledgebase. Fatigue testing is much more complex than tensile testing, and different approaches exist in determining the representative hysteresis loop.
