  1. Fatigue failure is characterized by three stages • Crack Initiation • Crack Propagation • Final Fracture Fatigue Failure It has been recognized that a metal subjected to a repetitive or fluctuating stress will fail at a stress much lower than that required to cause failure on a single application of load. Failures occurring under conditions of dynamic loading are called fatigue failures. MAE dept., SJSU

However once initiated propagation was rapid and accelerating as shown in the increased spacing of the 'beach marks' on the surface caused by the advancing fatigue crack. MAE dept., SJSU

Csize = .869(d)-0.097 8 mm < d ≤ 250 mm Csize = 1.189(d)-0.097 Correction Factors for Specimen’s Endurance Limit • Size factor, Csize(p. 327, Norton’s 3rd ed.) Larger parts fail at lower stresses than smaller parts. This is mainly due to the higher probability of flaws being present in larger components. If the component is larger than 10 in., use Csize = .6 MAE dept., SJSU

  21. Csurf = A (Sut)b Correction Factors for Specimen’s Endurance Limit • surface factor, Csurf(p. 328-9, Norton’s 3rd ed.) The rotating beam test specimen has a polished surface. Most components do not have a polished surface. Scratches and imperfections on the surface act like a stress raisers and reduce the fatigue life of a part. Use either the graph or the equation with the table shown below. MAE dept., SJSU

  22. Correction Factors for Specimen’s Endurance Limit • Temperature factor, Ctemp(p.331, Norton’s 3rd ed.) High temperatures reduce the fatigue life of a component. For accurate results, use an environmental chamber and obtain the endurance limit experimentally at the desired temperature. For operating temperature below 450 oC (840 oF) the temperature factor should be taken as one. Ctemp = 1 for T ≤ 450 oC (840 oF) MAE dept., SJSU

  23. Correction Factors for Specimen’s Endurance Limit • Reliability factor, Crel(p. 331, Norton’s 3rd ed.) The reliability correction factor accounts for the scatter and uncertainty of material properties (endurance limit). MAE dept., SJSU

The stress concentration factor seems to be sensitive to the notch radius and the ultimate strength of the material. MAE dept., SJSU
