Step-by-step explanation:
Given The bar is square and has a hot-rolled finish. The loading is fully reversed bending.
Tensile Strength
Sut: 600 MPa
Maximum temperature
Tmax: 500 °C
Bar side dimension
b: 150 mm
Alternating stress
σa: 100 MPa
Reliability
R: 0.999 Note 1.
Assumptions Infinite life is required and is obtainable since this ductile steel will have an endurance limit. A reliability factor of 99.9% will be used.
Solution See Excel file Ex06-01.xls.
1 Since no endurance-limit or fatigue strength information is given, we will estimate S'e based on the ultimate tensile strength using equation 6.5a.
S'e: 300 MPa = 0.5 * Sut
2 The loading is bending so the load factor from equation 6.7a is
Cload: 1
3 The part size is greater than the test specimen and the part is not round, so an equivalent diameter based on its 95% stressed area must be determined and used to find the size factor. For a rectangular section in nonrotating bending, the A95 area is defined in Figure 6-25c and the equivalent diameter is found from equation 6.7d
A95: 1125 mm2 = 0.05 * b * b Note 2.
dequiv: 121.2 mm = SQRT(A95val / 0.0766)
and the size factor is found for this equivalent diameter from equation 6.7b, to be
Csize: 0.747 = 1.189 * dequiv^-0.097
4 The surface factor is found from equation 6.7e and the data in Table 6-3 for the specified hot-rolled finish.
Table 6-3 constants
A: 57.7
b: -0.718 Note 3.
Csurf: 0.584 = Acoeff * Sut^bCoeff
5 The temperature factor is found from equation 6.7f :
Ctemp: 0.710 = 1 - 0.0058 * (Tmax - 450)
6 The reliability factor is taken from Table 6-4 for R = 0.999 and is
Creliab: 0.753
7 The corrected endurance limit Se can now be calculated from equation 6.6:
Se: 69.94 MPa = Cload * Csize * Csurf * Ctemp *
Creliab * Sprme
Let
Se: 70 MPa
8 To create the S-N diagram, we also need a value for the estimated strength Sm at 103 cycles based on equation 6.9 for bending loading.
Sm: 540 MPa = 0.9 * Sut
9 The estimated S-N diagram is shown in Figure 6-34 with the above values of Sm and Se. The expressions of the two lines are found from equations 6.10a through 6.10c assuming that Se begins at 106 cycles.
b: -0.2958 Note 4.
a: 4165.7

10 The number of cycles of life for any alternating stress level can now be found from equation 6.10a by replacing σa for Sn.
At N = 103 cycles,
Sn3: 540 MPa = aa * 1000^bb
At N = 106 cycles,
Sn6: 70 MPa = aa * 1000000^bb
The figure above shows the intersection of the alternating stress line (σa = 100 MPa) with the failure line at N = 3.0 x 105 cycles.
