= c~ to e v a l u a t e the r e l a t i v e i n f l u e n c e of c r e e p and fatigue, where v i s the f r e q u e n c y , t is the time and k and C1 are c o n s t a n t s that depend on the m a t e r i a l and t e s t i n g cond i t i o n s . If k = 0, the t e s t is t i m e - d e p e n d e n t , as in pure c r e e p , and if k = 1, the t e s t is cycle dependent, a s in pure fatigue.
