How the fatigue curve are defined?

Hi, I don't understand the SN and EN curve.
SN case
if i put a Yield strenght of 290 and i click estimate the curve from UTS, at 10^3 cycles the curve shows me a value of 800MPA, How it is possible that has a value greater than the static value?
Thanks

thanks, i didn't notice that and i was going crazy, and what about the EN curve?
I'm not understanding why the stress range has a negative exponent.
Thanks for helping.

I do not understand your question : What "stress range" are you talking about for EN ?

I'm not understanding why the stress range is about 0.1 or 0.01, I suppose that it has to be a value like the ultimate strenght value (290).
Thanks.

In EN, the law is defined in strain, not stress (as you can see on the curve title)

Hello Nicolò,
Unless specified otherwise (there is a parameter for that), curves for fatigue material are defined in stress range, not stress amplitude.
And Stress range = 2 x stress amplitude.
On your picture we see a stress range of about 520MPa (the 800MPa is the extrapolation at 1 cycle).
