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

Guia passo a passo

  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

Exemplos resolvidos

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

Erros comuns a evitar

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

Perguntas frequentes

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.
