  • LOG LOG: logarithmic interpolation on the number of cycles at break and on the half-magnitude of the stress (piecewise Basquin formula),

  • LIN LIN: linear interpolation on the number of cycles at break and on the half-amplitude of the stress (this interpolation is not recommended because the Wöhler curve is absolutely not linear in this coordinate system),
