German term or phrase: Zugschwell- und Zugwechselbereich
Normalspannungen im Zugschwell- und Zugwechselbereich mit (equation).

This is for a chart. The heading is Betriebslastfälle. What I printed above is the subheading. I've translated Betriebslastfälle as 'Operation Loads.' It follows information about welded seams and notch cases (Schweißnähte, Kerbfall).

Here I believe Spannung would translate as 'stress' and not 'voltage.'

range of pulsating and alternating tensile stress(es)
Explanation:
My offering; based on Ernst for the "Zugschwellbereich), which is positive but pulsates, while the "-wechsel" alternates between positive and negative.

BTW, I would suggest "operating stresses" rather than "operation loads", but there's no strong feeling about it.
