Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A beam with a hole is subjected to bending forces. Calculate the SCF if the nominal stress is 50 MPa and the maximum stress at the hole is 100 MPa.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the SCF formula.

Question 2

Design a spring that will endure cyclic loads below its endurance limit. Given a yield strength of 200 MPa, suggest an endurance limit of 80 MPa. Justify your reasoning.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider loading limits when designing for fatigue.
