Purpose
This assignment provides additional practice on fatigue failure, FEA Fundamentals, and the analysis of
joints. If you have significant difficulty with this assignment, you should contact one of the course
instructors.

Problem 1 (20 Points)
For each situation shown below, identify the following:
a) Determine the Load Types c) Determine a & m
b) Determine the Element Stresses d) Factor of Safety Use ASME Elliptic

Assume each component is machined from steel (Sy = 90 kpsi, SUT = 120 ksi, and Se = 40 kpsi) and an
infinite life is desired for all components.


Situation 1: FA is Fully Reversed

We need cross sectional area for axial stress, second moment of inertia for bending and polar
moment of inertia for torsion. We also need to find our equivalent diameter for k
b
. Suppose, the
material is cold drawn, so a and b for k
a
value are 2.70 and 0.265.

So, k
a
= a S
ut
b
= 2.70 120
0.265
= 0.8194

A table is generated to generate the results,
