Material is the same as for Problem 1, namely σult = 90,000 psi and σe = 40,000 psi for a ground surface. At the point of expected failure K = 1.5. The loading is as follows:

σavg = 21,000 psi,

σr = 21,300 psi,

for 36% of the time

σavg = 39,000 psi,

σr = 15,480 psi,

for 49% of the time

σavg = 31,000psi,

σr = 20,850 psi,

for 15% of the time

(a) Find the equivalent completely reversed stresses for each stress.


(b) Find the life if each stress only would be applied and find the expected overall life N.

Problem 1

A steel has a tensile strength of 90,000 psi and an endurance limit of 40,000 psi when the surface is ground.

(a) Find the value of constants A and B for Basquin’s equation.


(b) For a loading of σavg = 27,050 psi and σr = 20,020 psi and a stress concentration factor 1.5, find the value of σr, the equivalent completely reversed stress.


(c) For the loading of part (b), calculate the expected number of reversals to failure.
