Stress Life Approach
Circular
Ideal conditions
a
Steel
Se’ = 0.5 Sut for Sut < 212 ksi (1460 MPa)
= 107 ksi (740 MPa) for all other values of Sut
Iron
Se’ = 0.4 Sut for Sut < 60 ksi (400 MPa)
= 24 ksi (160 MPa) for all other values of Sut
Estimating Se’ – Aluminum and Copper
Alloys
For aluminum and copper alloys, there is no endurance limit
Eventually, these materials will fail due to repeated loading
To come up with an “equivalent” endurance limit, designers
typically use the value of the fatigue strength (S f’) at 108 cycles
Aluminum alloys
S ’ (S at 10 cycles)
8 = 0.4 Sut for Sut < 48 ksi (330 MPa)

Now add SC factor:

Now, estimate Se
Steel:
Se’ = 0.5 Sut for Sut < 1400 MPa (eqn. 6-8)
740 MPa for Sut > 1400 MPa
AISI 1020 As-rolled
Sut = 448 MPa
Se’ = 0.5(448) = 227 MPa [Eqn. 6-8]
Correction factors
Now we have Se’ (infinite life)
We need to account for differences between the lab specimen and a
real specimen (material, manufacturing, environment, design)
We use correction factors
Strength reduction factors
Marin modification factors
These will account for differences between an ideal lab specimen and
real life
Se = ka kb kc kd ke kf Se’
ka – surface factor
kb – size factor
kc – load factor
kd – temperature factor
ke – reliability factor
Kf – miscellaneous-effects factor
Modification factors have been found empirically and are described in
section 6-9 of Shigley-Budynas (see examples)
Example, cont.
Modification factors
Surface: ka = aSutb (Eq. 6-19)
a and b from Table 6-2
Surface was Machined
ka = (4.45)(448)-0.265 = 0.88
Example, cont.
Size: kb
Axial loading
kb = 1 (Eq. 6-21)
Load: kc
Axial loading
kc = 0.85 (Eq. 6-26)
Example, cont.
Temperature:
kd = 1 (no info given)
Reliability:
ke = 1 (no info given)
Miscellaneous:
kf = 1
Endurance limit:
Se = kakbkckdkekfSe’ = (0.88)(0.85)(227) = 177 MPa

Fluctuating stresses, cont.
As with alternating stresses, fluctuating stresses have been
investigated in an empirical manner
For m < 0 (compressive mean stress)

Combined loading and fatigue
Size factor depends on loading
SC factors also depend on loading
Could be very complicated calculation to keep track of each load
case
Assuming all stress components are completely reversing and are
always in time phase with each other,
1. For the strength, use the fully corrected endurance limit for
bending, Se
2. Apply the appropriate fatigue SC factors to the torsional stress,
the bending stress, and the axial stress components
3. Multiply any alternating axial stress components by the factor
1/kc,ax
4. Enter the resultant stresses into a Mohr’s circle analysis to find
the principal stresses
5. Using the results of step 4, find the von Mises alternating stress
a’
6. Compare a’ with Sa to find the factor of safety
