Fatigue Loading Examples

This document contains sample questions about fatigue failure resulting from variable loading. The questions cover topics like estimating the number of cycles to failure for a steel bar subjected to reversing torque loads both with and without an elevated temperature. Another question involves calculating the required dimensions of a square steel rod to support a reversing transverse load for a given number of cycles. Additional questions involve calculating safety factors for a steel shaft subjected to fluctuating loads using different fatigue failure criteria, and estimating the number of cycles a steel leaf spring could survive under changing stress loads using Miner's and Manson's methods.

Mechanical Engineering and Design, Shingley, Seventh Edition, Questions 7.8, 7.9, 7.26, 7.29
7.8. A solid round bar, 25 mm in diameter, has a groove 2.5 mm deep with a 2.5 mm radius machined
into it. The bar is made of AISI 1018 CD steel and is subjected to a purely reversing torque of 200Nm.
For the S-N curve of this material, let f = 0.9.
a) Estimate the number of cycles to failure.
b) If the bar is also placed in an environment with a temperature of 450
0
C, estimate the number of
cycles to failure.

7.9 A solid square rod cantilevered at one end. The rod is 0.8 m long and supports a completely
reversing transverse load at the other hand 1 kN. The material is AISI 1045 hot-rolled steel. If the
rod must support this load for 10
4
cycles with a factor of safety of 1.5, what dimensions should the
square cross section have? Neglect any stress concentrations at the support end and assume that
f=0.9.
7.26 In the figure shown, shaft A, made of AISI 1010 hot-rolled steel, is welded to a fixed support and
is subjected to loading by equal and opposite forces F via shaft B. A theoretical stress concentration
K
ts
of 1.6 is induced by the 3 mm fillet. The length of shaft A from the fixed support to the connection
at shaft B is 1 m. The load F cycles from 0.5 to 2 kN.
a) For shaft A, find the factor of safety for infinite life using the modified Goodman fatigue failure
criterion.
b) Repeat part(a) using Gerber fatigue failure criterion.
