Locati method for determining fatigue properties

[slvr]

Hi, does anyone have experience with executing (corrosion) fatigue tests according to the Locati method? Or does anyone have a good reference to an article or book in which this method is explained? I understand the principle, but I don't really know how to transfer theory to practise. What stress levels should you choose? What steps? What are your acceptance criteria?
Many thanks for your input,
BR,
Sylvia
