Fatigue Failure
σmin = minimum stress
σmax = maximum stress
σm = midrange component
σa = amplitude component
S′e = 0.5Sut
if Sut ≤ 1400MPa (200 kpsi)
Se = ka kb kc kd ke kf S′e
ka = surface condition modification factor
kb = size modification factor
kc = load modification factor
kd = temperature modification factor
ke = reliability factor
kf = miscellaneous-effects modification factor
S′e = rotary-beam test specimen endurance limit
Se = endurance limit at the critical location of a machine part in the geometry
and condition of use
When endurance tests of parts are not available estimations are made
by applying the earlier relations to the endurance limit (S′e = 0.5Sut ....) .
ka = a Sbut
Size Factor kb
For bending and torsion loading (d in millimetre)
kb = 1.24 d−0.107 for 2.79 ≤ d ≤ 51 mm
kb = 1.51 d−0.157 for 51 < d ≤ 254 mm
For axial loading there is no size effect kb = 1
When a round bar in bending is not rotating, or when a noncircular cross section is used
employs an effective dimension de obtained by equating the volume of material stressed at and
above 95 percent of the maximum stress to the same volume in the rotating-beam
specimen
de = 0.37 d
A rectangular section of dimensions h × b has
de = 0.808 (hb)1/2
Loading Factor kc Miscellaneous-Effects Factor kf
The factor kf is proposed to account for the reduction in
kc = 1 for bending load endurance limit due to all other effects as Residual stresses,
kc = 0.85 for axial load Corrosion, stress-concentration, .....
kc = 0.59 for torsion load
Kf = 1 + q(Kt − 1) or Kf s = 1 + qshear(Kts − 1)
q = Notch sensitivity
Kt (or Kts ) = Stress concentration factor
