The relationship between the alternating stress and mean stress is given by the following equation: σa=σe, where σe is the fatigue limit for completely reversed loading. The value of x for Gerber line is equal to _________

Correct Answer: 1-(σm/σu)x
The Gerber line follows the path of a parabola. So, if value of x is kept two, the equation satisfies the equation of the parabola.
