Abstract
Recently a stochastic model for fatigue of metals has been proposed by two of the present authors. In this paper some parameters adopted in that model are related to the material properties obtained from the static true stress-strain tension test. On this basis, the probability density functions of lives up to crack initiation and their mean values are estimated.
