1. A steel shaft of circular cross-section (diameter: 30 mm) is under a bending moment that
varies from 0 Nm to 200 Nm. The corrected endurance limit (after multiplying Ka,b,c,d )
for the shaft is 300 MPa. The ultimate strength and yield strength of the material are
770 MPa and 580 MPa respectively. What is the factor of safety for the shaft by using
Soderberg criterion?

2. Consider a steel with the fatigue strength for steel at which high-cycle fatigue begins is
330 MPa and the endurance limit stress of a particular mechanical component subjected
to reversed bending stress is 200 Mpa. A complicated loading cycle is applied, so that
the stress is 175 MPa for 20% of the time, 220 MPa for 30%, 250 MPa for 40%, and 275
MPa for 10%. Find the number of cycles until cumulative failure.

3. A polished steel bar is subjected to axial tensile force that varies from zero to Pmax . It has
a groove 2 mm deep and having a radius of 3 mm. The theoretical stress concentration
factor and notch sensitivity factor at the groove are 1.8 and 0.95 respectively. The outer
diameter of the bar is 30 mm. The ultimate tensile strength of the bar is 1250 MPa. The
endurance limit in reversed bending is 600 MPa. Find the maximum force that the bar
can carry for 105 cycles with 90% reliability.

4. A bar of steel has an ultimate tensile strength of 700 MPa, a yield point stress of 400
MPa and fully corrected endurance limit (Se ) of 220 MPa. The bar is subjected to a
mean bending stress of 60 MPa and a stress amplitude of 80 MPa. Superimposed on it
is a mean torsional stress and torsional stress amplitude of 70 and 35 MPa respectively.
Find the factor of safety.
