47-7 The Endurance Limit
- A quick method of estimating endurance limits is
needed - for preliminary and prototype design
- for some failure analysis
- Experimental results for
- rotating-beam tests
- simple tension tests
- of specimens taken from
- the same bar are shown in
- Figure 7.18.
Figure 7-18 Graph of endurance limits versus
tensile strengths from actual test results for a
large number of wrought irons and steels.
5Figure 7-18 Graph of endurance limits versus
tensile strengths from actual test results for a
large number of wrought irons and steels. Ratios
of Se/Sut of 0.60, 0.50, and 0.40 are shown by
the solid and dashed lines. Note also the
horizontal dashed line for of Se107 kpsi.
Points shown having a tensile strength greater
than 214 kpsi have a mean endurance limit of
Se107 kpsi and a standard deviation of 13.5
kpsi.
6- For steels, the relationship between the tensile
strength and the endurance limit is given by
(7-8)
- where
- is the minimum tensile strength. The prime
mark on in this equation refers to the
rotating-beam specimen itself. - The unprimed symbol is for the
endurance limit of any particular machine element
subjected to any kind of loading.
7The endurance limits for various classes of cast
irons, polished or machined, are given in Table
A-24. Aluminum alloys do not have an endurance
limit. The fatigue strengths of some aluminum
alloys at 5(108 ) cycles of reversed stress are
given in Table A-24.
87-7 Fatigue Strength
- Region of low cycle fatigue
- The fatigue strength is only slightly
smaller than the tensile - strength .
- Region of high Cycle Fatigue
- The purpose of this section is to develop
methods of approximation of the S-N diagram in
the high-cycle region, when information may be as
sparse as the results of a simple tension test.
Experience has shown high-cycle fatigue data are
rectified by a logarithmic transform to both
stress and cycles-to-failure.
97-8 Fatigue Strength
In the region of high cycle fatigue, the equation
relating the fatigue strength to the number
of cycles to failure may be given by the
empirical curve fit equation where is
the number of cycles to failure and a and b are
given by

14Example
Given a 1050 HR steel, estimate a) The
rotating-beam endurance limit at 106. b) The
endurance strength of a polished rotating beam
specimen corresponding to 104 cycles to
failure. c) The expected life of a polished
rotating-beam specimen under a completely
reversed stress of 55 kpsi.
SOLUTION a) From Table A-20,
From Eq. (7-8) b) From Fig. (7-19) for
15Example (Cont.d)
From Eq. (7-13) and (7-14) ?
Thus Eq. (7-12) is for
cycles to failure, the above equation
becomes
16Example (Cont.d)
c) From Eq. (7-15), with
Keep in mind that these are only
estimates.
177-9 Endurance Limit Modifying Factors
- The rotating-beam specimen used in the laboratory
to determine endurance limits is prepared very
carefully and tested under closely controlled
conditions. It is unrealistic to expect the
endurance limit of a mechanical or structural
member to match the values obtained in the
laboratory. Some differences include - Material composition, basis of failure,
variability - Manufacturing method, heat treatment, fretting
corrosion, surface condition, stress
concentration - Environment corrosion, temperature, stress
state, relaxation times - Design size, shape, life, stress state, stress
concentration, speed, fretting, galling
18 Marins Equation
Marin identified factors that quantified the
effects of surface condition, size, loading,
temperature, and miscellaneous items. Marins
Equations is therefore written as

location of a machine part in geometry and
condition of use rotary-beam test specimen

19When endurance tests of parts are not available,
estimations are made by applying Marin factors to
the endurance limit.

21The size factor for bending and torsion may
be given by
(7-19)
For axial loading there is no size effect, so
(7-20)
22QUESTION What to do with Eq.(7-19) if a round
bar in bending is not rotating or when a
non-circular cross-section is used?
ANSWER Use effective dimension where
(7-23)
as the effective size of a round corresponding to
a non-rotating solid or hollow round. Table 7-5
provides areas of common structural shapes
undergoing non-rotating bending
