A transmission of shaft made C45 steel subjected to a fluctuating torque varying from -100N-m to +500N-m.Also a fluctuating bending moment acts on the shaft which varies from +500N-m to -500Nm.

A circular bar is simply supported with a span of 0.5mand is subjected to a concentrated cyclic load at its midspan. The load varies from a minimum value of20KN to maximum value of 45 KN.
