If stress stays below 1000 MPa…can the material fail?
Yes , through fatigue .
12
Fatigue
Fatigue = failure under applied fluctuating stress.
yield strength
of about 9 of of all metal failures
Fatigue is the case

Rotating-Bending Fatigue Testing
• Specimen is placed under pure bending (Compression on top surface, tension on bottom)
• Testing frequencies generally around 30 Hz

Prevention of Fatigue Failure
Avoid sharp corners
• Surface treatment:
• Polished surface: remove scratches
