The relationship of torque versus angle of rotation stabilizes after only a few cycles so that the alternating stress will become a constant as long as the maximum shear stress is less than the shear yield strength of the material. Using this information in Findley`s fatigue criterion, it is demonstrated that the mean shear stress has very little influence on the fatigue limit of a notch-free ductile material under cyclic torsional loading.
