Given Information :
Assumptions :
For the ease of calculations the given information is converted to metric format, which yields the same value of design factor and in no way affects the final answer.
The properties of SAE 4130 Steel :
Yield Stress :
Ultimate Stress :
Solution :
Step 1: Conversion of the quantitites from imperial to metric format :
Compressive load acting : 400 lb == 181.437 kg
Tensile load acting : 1500 lb == 680.3886 kg
Diameter of rod : 0.6 in == 15.24 mm
Step 2: Calculation of the stresses acting on the rod during the operation :
The cross section area of the rod is given by the formula :
Where
D : Diameter of rod
Substituting the values in the above equation :
The stresses induced in the rod due to the load is given by the formula :
Where
Stress induced
Load acting
Cross sectional area of the rod
Substitute the values of the compressive and tensile loads in the following formula
Hence the values of stresses are :
Tensile stress :
Compressive stress :
Step 3: Calculation of Endurance stress.
Endurance stress of the given rod is calculated by the following formula :
Where
Endurance limit of Material
Machining Factor
Size Factor
Load Factor
Reliability Factor
Since the given material is steel the endurance limit of material is given by :
Since there is no mention of machining factor we can assume it to be unity with little loss in accuracy.
The size factor is given by :
d=diameter is in inches
The load factor is given by :
for axial loading
The relability factor is given by :
for 99 % reliability
Combining all the factors and calculating the endurance stress:
Step 4 : Calculating Stress Amplitude, Mean Stress :
From the tensile and the compressive stresses we can find the following :
Stress amplitude is given by :
Mean Stress is given by :
Substitute the values in the above equations :
Step 5 : Calculating the design factor from Soderberg Line equation :
The Soderberg Line equation is taken for calculation since Steel is a ductile material .
The equation is as follows :
Where
Design Factor
Substitute the values in the above equation
Therefore the design factor is
The value of the design factor obtained from Soderberg Line equation is very high. The reason is that during the calculation,it has been considered that the rod is free from notches and hence free from stress concentration effects.

INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
