STEADY STRESSES AND VARIABLE STRESSES IN MACHINE MEMBERS
Introduction to the design process – factors influencing machine design – Direct, Bending and torsional stress equations – calculation of principle stresses for various load combinations, Design of curved beams – crane hook and 'C' frame – Factor of safety – theories of failure – stress concentration – Design for variable loading – Soderberg, Goodman and Gerber relations
70. Cyclic loads produce cyclic stress which can lead to mechanical fatigue
failure:
Mechanical Fatigue = The progressive and localized structural damage
that occurs when a material is subjected to cyclic loading. The cyclic
stress is well below tensile, Su and yield, Sy , strengths!
78. • Fatigue limit, endurance limit, and fatigue
strength are all expressions used to describe a
property of materials.
79.
80. Endurance
• Endurance strength is the stress level that a
material can survive for a given number of load
cycles.
• Endurance limit is the stress level that a
material can survive for an infinite number of
load cycles.
• Estimate for Wrought Steel:
Endurance Strength = 0.50(Su)
• Most nonferrous metals (aluminum) do not
have an endurance limit.
89. S-N Curve
• S of S-N curve stands for "Stress". That means repeatitive load.
• N stands for "Number of cycles to failure".
S describes a vertical axis and N describes a cross axis. Those make a
graph below.
