[Pg / 8] Fatigue Analysis Pg 257 The Units used as standard: in, kip, kpsi, sec, hp in, kip, kpsi, sec/min, hp Endurance Strength Pg 274 Fatigue failure occurs when a machine element is sujected to fluctuating load. The inherent strength of the material weaken at every cycle until eventually the structure is overcome y the applied cyclic load. To determine the strength of material under fatigue loading, specimens are sujected to repeated loading of specified magnitude and counted to destruction. The most widely used is the R. R. Moore machine fatigue test. Aove: Moores' Fatigue Test machine Below: SN diagrams from Moores' experiment

Repeated and Reversed Reversed: when a load-carrying component is sujected to certain level of tensile load followed y a same level of compressive load. Repeated: when loading is repeated many thousand times. σ max - maximum stress acting on the specimen σ min - minimum stress acting on the specimen τ max - maximum shear stress acting on the specimen τ min - minimum shear stress acting on the specimen K f - stress concentration factor mean stress acting on the specimen σ max + σ min σ m = K f 2 alternating stress acting on the specimen σ max σ min σ a = K f 2

[Pg 6 / 8] Fatigue Failure Criterion Pg 297 Langer's eqn (for early cycle yielding) : σ a S y + σ m S y = [6-48] η Modified Goodman equation: σ a + σ m S ut = [6-45] η Gerer equation: ησ a 2 ησ m + = [6-46] S ut Sodererg equation: σ a + σ m S y = [6-44] η If η =.0 then the stress (σ m,σ a ) lies on the Langer line or the other fatigue curves. Any points lower than the curves are safe i.e. η >.0. To ensure the materials do not yield at the first cycle loading, the Langer's equation must e applied against oth stresses σ m, σ a. If the material is considered safe y Langer, further analysis must done using any of the Fatigue equations as can e explained y the figure elow. The Sodererg lines is an exception to the aove ecause it does need to e accompanied y Langer's test.
