A particular mechanical bracket has been subjected to constant-amplitude fatigue tests at the single level of S_{r} = 150 MPa, and the observed fatigue life was N_{f}=10^{6} cycles. Based on experience with similar devices, it is estimated that the parameter m of the S/N curve is in the range of 3\leq m\leq 5 . Based on this limited information, it is necessary to choose a level for the standard deviation \sigma _{X} of the narrowband, mean-zero, Gaussian stress that will be applied to the bracket in actual service. Using the limiting values of m = 3 and m = 5 , find the level of \sigma _{X} meeting each of two possible design situations: E[N(T)]=10^{6} and E[N(T)]=10^{8} .
