Tutorial - 5 and Solution Feb 9 2017 Final

1. The steel bar is subjected to completely reversed axial loads between 4.45 kN compression and 4.45 kN tension. An infinite fatigue life is predicted with a factor of safety of 2.88. 2. Calculations show the factor of safety against yielding is 3.95 at point A and 1.40 at point B, indicating it depends on the point analyzed. 3. For a threaded steel rod under a mean tensile stress of 210 MPa with an ultimate strength of 900 MPa, the maximum alternating stress that can be applied is estimated to be 132.68 MPa.

Q1. A cold drawn AISI 1040 steel bar shown in the figure is subjected to a
completely reversed axial load fluctuating between 4.45 kN in compression to
4.45 kN in tension. Estimate the fatigue factor of safety based on achieving infinite
life, and the yielding factor of safety. If infinite life is not predicted, estimate the
number of cycles to failure.

Sol. 1. Given Fmax = 4.45 kN, Fmin = -4.45 kN, and from Table A-20: Sy = 490
MPa, Sut = 590 MPa (AISI 1040, CD).
Check for yielding: (In computing the stress, the section at the hole governs):

Q2. This problem illustrates that the factor of safety for a machine
element depends on the particular point selected for analysis. Here you
are to compute factor of safety, based upon the distortion energy theory,
for stress elements at A and B of the member shown in the figure. This
bar is made of AISI 1006 CD steel and is loaded by the forces F = 0.55
kN, P = 4.0 kN, and T = 25 N-m.
