A rotating shaft experiences an alternating stress of 75 MPa and a mean stress of 120 MPa. Given its yield strength is 300 MPa and ultimate strength is 600 MPa, determine if the shaft meets safety regulations using the Goodman and Soderberg criteria.
💡 Hint: Use the right equations for both criteria.
A bicycle frame is subjected to cyclical loading. With a maximum load of 3000 N and minimum load of 100 N, determine the mean and alternating stresses, then evaluate whether the frame design uses the Soderberg Line effectively.
💡 Hint: Do not forget to use the definitions for mean and alternating stresses properly.
