Question 1

What is the process of calculating Mean Stress?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the average in terms of stress values.

Question 2

The Goodman Line helps in predicting fatigue failure using which material strength?

  • Yield Strength
  • Ultimate Strength
  • Proportional Limit

πŸ’‘ Hint: Relate this to the highest strength a material can support.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the right equations for both criteria.

Question 2

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.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Do not forget to use the definitions for mean and alternating stresses properly.
