You subjected a rod under the cyclic stress with the maximum stress of 200 MPa and minimum stress of 20 MPa. The fatigue limit was determined to be ~100 MPa. How many cycles can this materials sustain before failure?

Answer:

The material will not fail

Step-by-step explanation:

A rod subjected under cyclic stress will fail if the cyclic stress it is subjected to is a constant maximum value that is above the fatigue limit of the rod. but in this problem the Rod is subjected to a cyclic stress that ranges from 200 MPa(maximum stress) and 20 MPa ( minimum stress). this simply means that at all times the Rod will not experience maximum stress of 200 MPa and its Fatigue limit is also set at ~100 MPa

attached is the diagram showing the cyclic stress the rod is subjected to
