Crack Initiation
Fatigue always begins at a crack

Crack may start at a microscopic
inclusion (<.010 in.)
Crack may start at a "notch", or
other stress concentration
Crack Propagation
Sharp crack creates a stress
concentration
Each tensile stress cycle causes
the crack to grow
(~10-8 to 10-4 in/cycle)
Fracture
Sudden, catastrophic failure

with no warning.

Figure 7-5
Fatigue fracture surface
of a forged connecting
rod of AISI 8640 steel.
The fatigue crack origin is
at the left edge, at the
flash line of the forging,
but no unusual roughness
of the flash trim was
indicated. The fatigue
crack progressed halfway
around the oil hole at the
left, indicated by the
beach marks, before final
fast fracture occurred.
Note the pronounced shear lip in the final fracture at the right edge. (From ASM Handbook,

Thus far weve studied STATIC FAILURE of machine elements.

The second major class of component failure is due to DYNAMIC LOADING
Repeated stresses
Alternating stresses
Fluctuating stresses
The ultimate strength of a material (Su) is the maximum stress a material

can sustain before failure assuming the load is applied only once and held.
Fatigue strength Resistance of a material to failure under cyclic loading.
A material can also FAIL by being loaded repeatedly to a stress level that is
LESS than (Su)

Three major fatigue life methods used in design and analysis for safe
life estimation:
1.Stress life method (S-N Curves)
2.Strain life method (-N Curve)
3.Linear elastic fracture mechanics method
The above methods predict the life in number of cycles to failure, N,

for a specific level of loading. :
1.Low cycle Fatigue:
2.High cycle fatigue

1. Stress-Life Method
based on stress levels only
It is the least accurate approach, especially for low-cycle applications.
Most traditional method:
easiest to implement for a wide range of design applications
ample supporting data
represents high-cycle applications adequately
Dr. A. Aziz Bazoune

LEC 20
Slide25
2. Strain-Life Method
Involves more detailed analysis of the plastic deformation at localized

regions where the stresses and strains are considered for life estimates.
Good for low-cycle fatigue applications.

Some uncertainties exist in the results.

3.
Fracture Mechanics Method
Assumes a crack is already present and detected.

Predicts crack growth with respect to stress intensity.
Most practical when applied to large structures in conjunction with
computer codes and a periodic inspection program.

To determine the strength of materials under the action of fatigue loads, specimens are
subjected to repeated or varying forces of specified magnitudes while the cycles or
stress reversals are counted to destruction. The most widely used fatigue-testing device
is the R. R. Moore high-speed rotating-beam machine. The specimen, shown in
Fig.6-9, is very carefully machined and polished, with a final polishing in an axial
Direction to avoid circumferential scratches.
Figure 7-9
Test-specimen geometry for
the R. R. Moore rotatingbeam machine. The bending
moment is uniform over the
curved at the highest-stressed
portion, a valid test of
material, whereas a fracture
elsewhere (not at the higheststress level) is grounds for
suspicion of material flaw.

There are essentially two types of fatigue:

1.
High Cycle Fatigue (HCF) (Elastic Strain)
2.
Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF) (Plastic Strain)
Semi-Log Scale
The fatigue strength

Sf is the stress level
that a material can
endure for N cycles.
The stress level at
which that material
can withstand an
infinite number of
cycles is called the
endurance limit.
The endurance limit

is observed as a
horizontal line on the
S-N curve.
Endurance Limit (Se):

Maximum stress that a
material will endure
without failure for an
infinite number of load
cycles.

Slide32
S-N Curves for Non-Ferrous Metals (Al-Alloys)
Note that nonferrous materials

often exhibit no
endurance limit.
Eventually these
materials will fail
due to repeated
loading.
To come up with an
equivalent
endurance limit,
designers typically
use the value of
the fatigue
strength Sf at 108
cycles
