Space-time block coding based transmit diversity

In materials science and fatigue, the Goodman relation is an equation used to quantify the interaction of mean and alternating stresses on the fatigue life of a material.

A Goodman diagram, sometimes called a Haigh diagram or a Haigh-Soderberg diagram, is a graph of (linear) mean stress vs. (linear) alternating stress, showing when the material fails at some given number of cycles.

A scatterplot of experimental data shown on such a plot can often be approximated by a parabola known as the Gerber line, which can in turn be (conservatively) approximated by a straight line called the Goodman line.

Mathematical description

The area below the curve indicates that the material should not fail given the stresses. The area above the curve represents likely failure of the material.

The Goodman relation can be represented mathematically as:

$\sigma _{\text{a}}=\sigma _{\text{fat}}\times \left(1-{\frac {\sigma _{\text{m}}}{\sigma _{\text{ts}}}}\right).$

Where $\sigma _{\text{a}}$ is the alternating stress, $\sigma _{\text{m}}$ is the mean stress, $\sigma _{\text{fat}}$ is the fatigue limit for completely reversed loading, and $\sigma _{\text{ts}}$ is the ultimate tensile stress of the material. The general trend given by the Goodman relation is one of decreasing fatigue life with increasing mean stress for a given level of applied stress. The relation can be plotted to determine the safe cyclic loading of a part; if the coordinate given by the mean stress and the applied stress lies under the curve given by the relation, then the part will survive. If the coordinate is above the curve, then the part will fail for the given stress parameters.
