Question
A testing laboratory for an engineering consortium has been asked to characterise the fatigue life
properties of two materials (steel and aluminium bars of unknown grades) having identical
geometry which will be used in the analysis for a failure accident report. Both bars are of square
shape of 200 mm and the failed structure is known to operate under the following service
conditions;
1. Both bars undertake a service temperature of T = 260 °C (500 °F)
2. The reliability target for both materials when they first designed was 99.9%
Additionally, the steel is observed to have been hot-rolled finish and the ultimate tensile properties
for both materials are SuT, steel = 650 MPa and SuT, aluminium = 340 MPa, respectively;
a) Firstly, for the steel, devise an estimation of the S-N diagram based on the available
information provided above. Subsequently, sketch the curve on log-log scale.
i. From the same sketch, anticipate the design lifecycles of the steel part if it's being
subjected to a fully-reversed bending stress of 120 MPa.
ii. Subsequently, draw informed conclusions on the constructed diagram when it's cross-
analysed against the failed part?
b) And secondly, for the aluminium, also devise an approximation S-N diagram for such
nonferrous material. Subsequently, sketch the curve on log-log scale by specifying the
threshold for the uncorrected fatigue strength is at 5.25 x 10 cycles.
