Question

A bar of steel has the minimum properties Se = 40 kpsi, S = 60 kpsi, and S-80 kpsi. The bar is subjected to a steady torsional stress of 15 kpsi and an alternating bending stress of 25 kpsi Find the factor of safety guarding against a static failure, and either the factor of safety guard- ing against a fatigue failure or the expected life of the part. For the fatigue analysis use:


(a) Modified Goodman criterion.

(b) Gerber criterion.

(C) ASME-elliptic criterion.

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) Modified Goodman criterion:

Factor of safety against fatigue failure =  1.0529

(b) Gerber criterion:

Factor of safety against fatigue failure = 1.31

(c) ASME-elliptic criterion:

Factor of safety against fatigue failure = 1.315
