INFINITE AND FINITE LIFE- NUMERICALS

INFINITE AND FINITE LIFE: APPLICATIONS THROUGH NUMERICALS

Infinite and Finite life numericals along with its analysis play important role in designing process.

So, in this blog, here are some solved examples based on infinite and finite life.

SOME IMPORTANT RELATIONS AND FORMULAE:

Let, S_se = Endurance limit (E.L) of a component subjected to torsional shear stresses

S_e= E.L of a component subjected to reversed bending stresses

(S_e)_a= Value of E. L of a component subjected to axial loading induced stresses.

The relations are :

S_se= 0.5 S_e {MAX.SHEAR STRESS THEORY}

S_se=0.577 S_e {DISTORTION ENERGY THEORY}

(S_e)_a=0.8 S_e {most important relation, keep in mind}

QUESTIONS ON INFINITE LIFE:

Here, the failure criterion is ENDURANCE LIMIT. The stress amplitude should be lower than that of endurance limit of the component.

Q1. A Plate made of steel 20C8 (S_ut=440 N/mm²) in hot rolled condition as shown in figure. It subjected to a completely reversed axial load of 30kN. The notch sensitivity factor (q) can be taken as 0.8 and expected reliability =90 %. The size factor is 0.85 . The factor of safety is 2. Determine the plate thickness (t) for infinite life.

SOL. Given :P= ±30 kN , S_ut=440 N/mm² , q=0.8 , FOS=2 , R=90% K_b=0.85
