    - The endurance limit of a mechanical component differs from from test specimen due to standard working conditions.

    - Endurance limit: The maximum value of completely reversed stress which a standard test specimen can withstand for infinite cycles is called as endurance limit.

    - The endurance limit of any mechanical component is calculated by considering modifying factors and endurance limit of test specimen.

    - Therefore, endurance limit (Se) = Ka Kb Kc Kd Ke Kg Se'

    here, Se' = endurance limit of test specimen

    Ka = surface finish factor, Kb = size factor, Kc = load factor, Kd = temperature factor, Ke = modifying factor for stress, Kg = reliability factor
