Part One: Fatigue Test: - Plot The S-N Diagram For Steel. - Find The Endurance Limit For Steel

This document contains instructions for two mechanical engineering experiments: 1. A fatigue test to plot an S-N diagram and determine the endurance limit for steel by applying cyclic loads to steel samples of different diameters. 2. A buckling test to determine the experimental and theoretical critical loads for a pin-pin beam by applying increasing loads and measuring deflections, then using the beam's properties in the buckling formula. 3. The results of both tests are to be recorded in tables.
