Fatigue Strength – Design for Dynamic
Loading

Finite life design

1. A rotating bar made of steel 45C8 (σut = 630 N/mm2) is subjected to a completely reversed
bending stress. The corrected endurance limit of the bar 200 N/mm2. Calculate the fatigue
strength of the bar for a life of 90,000 cycles.

2. A rotating shaft subjected to a non-rotating force of 5 kN and simply supported between two
bearings A and E is shown. The shaft is machined from plain carbon steel 30C8 (σut = 500 N/mm2)
and the expected reliability is 90%. The equivalent notch radius at the fillet section can be taken as
3mm. What is the life of the shaft? Take surface finish factor 0.79, size factor 0.85, reliability factor
0.897 and notch sensitivity 0.78.

3. A cantilever spring made of 10 mm diameter wire is shown in Fig. The wire is made of stainless
steel 4Cr18Ni10 (σut = 860 N/mm2 and σyt = 690 N/mm2). The force P acting at the free end varies
from 75 N to 150 N. The surface finish of the wire is equivalent to the machined surface. There is
no stress concentration and the expected reliability is 50%. Calculate the number of stress cycles
likely to cause fatigue failure.

Infinite life design
4. A cantilever beam made of cold rolled and machined steel 4OC8 (σut = 600 N/mm2 and σyt = 380
N/mm2) is shown in Fig. The force P acting at the free end varies from –50 N to +150 N. The
expected reliability is 90% and the factor of safety is 2. The notch sensitivity factor at the fillet is
0.9. Determine the diameter ‘d’ of the beam at the fillet cross-section.

5. A simply supported beam has a concentrated load at the centre which fluctuates from a value of
P to 4 P. The span of the beam is 500 mm and its cross-section is circular with a diameter of 60
mm. The beam material has an ultimate tensile strength of 700 MPa, yield strength of 500 MPa,
endurance limit of 330 MPa for reversed bending. The expected reliability is 50% and a factor of
safety is 1.3. Calculate the maximum value of P. Take a size factor of 0.85 and a surface finish
factor of 0.9.

6. A machine member rotates, and in each rotation stress varies from σ max=200 MPa to σmin=50
MPa. The material has σu= 800 MPa, σy = 600 MPa, σ-1=280 MPa. Assume Kf=1. Find FOS with (i)
Soderberg’s, (ii) Goodman’s and (iii) modified Goodman’s equation and (iv) Gerber equation.

7. A machine component is subjected to two-dimensional stresses. The tensile stress in the X
direction varies from 40 to 100 N/mm 2 while the tensile stress in the Y direction varies from 10
to 80 N/mm2. The frequency of variation of these stresses is equal. The corrected endurance
limit of the component is 270 N/mm 2. The ultimate tensile strength of the material of the
component is 660 N/mm2. Determine the factor of safety used by the designer.

8. A transmission shaft carries a pulley midway between the two bearings. The bending moment
at the pulley varies from 200 N-m to 600 N-m, as the torsional moment in the shaft varies from
70 N-m to 200 N-m. The frequencies of variation of bending and torsional moments are equal to
the shaft speed. The shaft is made of steel FeE 400 (σut = 540 N/mm2 and σyt = 400 N/mm2). The
corrected endurance limit of the shaft is 200 N/mm 2. Determine the diameter of the shaft using
a factor of safety of 2.

9. A hot rolled steel shaft is subjected to a torsional moment that varies from 330 N-m clockwise to
110 N-m counter clockwise and an applied bending moment at a critical section varies from 440
N-m to – 220 N-m. The shaft is of uniform cross-section and no keyway is present at the critical
section. Determine the required shaft diameter. The material has an ultimate strength of 550
MN/m2 and yield strength of 410 MN/m2. Take the endurance limit as half the ultimate strength,
factor of safety of 2, size factor of 0.85 and a surface finish factor of 0.62.
