Have any of you used the newly formatted, Section VIII Div., 2 yet? I have been using it for a while and noticed some things in it are just strange. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Hi Matt,
I don't use it much and haven't looked through the most recent version, but I was wondering what it is you saw that might be different. Anything significant?
 
The equations that are used to represent the fatigue curves, they don't even return the values publish in the table.
