  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

  2. Crack initiation site Fracture zone Propagation zone, striation Jack hammer component, shows no yielding before fracture. MAE dept., SJSU

  6. bicycle crank spider arm This long term fatigue crack in a high quality component took a considerable time to nucleate from a machining mark between the spider arms on this highly stressed surface. 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 Larger parts fail at lower stresses than smaller parts. This is mainly due to the higher probability of flaws being present in larger components. For solid round cross section If the component is larger than 10 in., use Csize = .6 MAE dept., SJSU

  18. Correction Factors for Specimen’s Endurance Limit For non rotating components, use the 95% area approach to calculate the equivalent diameter. Then use this equivalent diameter in the previous equations to calculate the size factor. A95 d d95 dequiv = ( )1/2 0.0766 MAE dept., SJSU

  19. Correction Factors for Specimen’s Endurance Limit • surface factor, Csurf 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. Csurf = A (Sut)b MAE dept., SJSU

  20. Correction Factors for Specimen’s Endurance Limit • Temperature factor, Ctemp 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

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

Notch sensitivity factor Kf = 1 + (Kt – 1)q Fatigue Stress Concentration Factor, Kf Experimental data shows that the actual stress concentration factor is not as high as indicated by the theoretical value, Kt.
