Suppose that the fatigue data for the brass alloy in Problem 9.21 were taken from torsional tests and that a shaft of this alloy is to be used for a coupling that is attached to an electric motor operating at 1500 rpm. Give the maximum torsional stress amplitude possible for each of the following lifetimes of the coupling: (a) 1 year, (b) 1 month, (c) 1 day, and (d) 2 hours.

Problem 9.21

The fatigue data for a brass alloy are given as follows:

Stress Amplitude (MPa)

Cycles to Failure

310

2 × 105

223

1 × 106

191

3 × 106

168

1 × 107

153

3 × 107

143

1 × 108

134

3 × 108

127

1 × 109

(a) Make an S–N plot (stress amplitude versus logarithm of cycles to failure) using these data.

(b) Determine the fatigue strength at 5 × 105 cycles.

(c) Determine the fatigue life for 200 MPa.
