Q3
Given: d = 30 mm, Sut = 770 MPa, N = 75000 cycles, Reliability = 99%
Q4
Calculate the endurance limit and fatigue strength.
Se = 0.5Sut
= 0.5 x 770 MPa
= 385 MPa
For machined component,
a = 4.51
b = -0.265
ka = (4.51)(770)-0.265
= 0.7749
For axial loading, kb = 1
For loading factor (axial loading), kc = 0.85
Temperature factor, kd = 1
Reliability factor (99%), ke = 0.814
Therefore, endurance limit Se = (0.7749)(1)(0.85)(1)(0.814)(385)
= 206.42 MPa
Fatigue strength, Sf = aNb
