Complete after watching Module 42: Randomly Varying Stresses and Miners Rule
The varying, fluctuating stresses shown below are found at the critical location of a
component. The material is steel, the fully adjusted endurance limit is 30 ksi, the
ultimate strength is 120 ksi. f = 0.82.
What is the life of the part in hours if this stress pattern continues to repeat for the
remainder of the parts life?

Before we can calculate the number of each type of cycle the part can withstand,
we need to find a and b.
