So currently I'm in school for Mechanical Engineering, though I got a general question.
I could have sworn that I read in my physics book working up to the point I am now reading that as long as a spring isn't pushed past it's stress point that it should last forever. Though now I have had someone trying to tell me that it would last only so many cycles and wear out over time ? I'd suppose this would be somewhat important to know for sure when designing machines.
If anyone could answer that would be great.
Thanks.
