Aim To improve the efficiency of fatigue material tests and relevant statistical treatment of test data. Methods Least square approach and other special treatments were used. Results and Conclusion The concepts of each phase in fatigue tests and statistical treatment are clarified. The method proposed leads to three important properties. Reduced number of specimens brings to the advantage of lowering test expenditures. The whole test procedure has more flexibility for there is no need to conduct many tests at the same stress level as in traditional cases.
