Fatigue life estimation predicts component life under cyclic loading. Failure occurs at stress levels well below static strength.

Przewodnik krok po kroku

  1. 1Use S-N curves or Miner's rule for fatigue analysis
  2. 2Calculate stress range and mean stress effects
  3. 3Account for surface finish, size, and stress concentration

Rozwiązane przykłady

Wejście
Stress range 200 MPa, material steel, 10⁶ cycle life, actual 5×10⁸ cycles required
Wynik
Life exceeded; fatigue safe
Approximate S-N curve lookup

Częste błędy do unikania

  • Using static stress limits for cyclic loading
  • Neglecting size effect on fatigue strength

Często zadawane pytania

What is endurance limit?

Maximum stress below which infinite life is achieved (for steel ~0.5 × ultimate strength).

How do stress concentrations affect fatigue?

Stress concentrations reduce fatigue strength significantly; notches and holes are critical.
