Problem 1: Using the Goodman equation, determine the diameter of a steel shatt that ‘can withstand a static tensile force of 36 KN and a cyclic load varying from zero to 72 KN when a factor of safety of 2is required for both the mean and fluctuating ‘components of the stress. The following have been determined: ozs = 670 MPa, and Problem 2: A 10 mm steel cable is used in a crane that lifts loads of 1600 kg, 1850 kg, and 2000 ke successively. On average, this load sequence is repeated 156 times a year for five years before the cable is replaced. Use the Palmgren-Miner rle to establish if the cable is likely to fail before itis replaced, The steel has the following properties endurance limit at 10” cycles = 140 MPa, fatigue fracture strength at 10° cycles = 450 MPa. (Ans: It will fail!) Problem 3: A turbine experiences a thermal cycle from room temperature (20°C) to} the service temperature (540°C). The blades of the turbine are made from a material with the following properties: ultimate tensile strength = 550 MPa, yield stress = 410] MPa, fatigue ductility coefficient = 0.36, fatigue ductility exponent = 0.6, E = 165 GPa, and the coefficient of thermal expansion = 1.8 x 10%, How many thermal cycles ‘may the blades withstand” (Ans: N,= 3 500 cycles)
