ME 325 — Machine design Exam 1 - Feb. 23, 2009 1. Explain why the maximum stress that causes fatigue failure of a component is much lower than the maximum stress that causes failure of the same component under static loading. (5 pis.) 2. Explain briefly the fatigue life stages of a mechanical component subjected to fluctuating loads? (5 prs.) 3, Explain why the rotating bending specimen is an important tool in the study of fatigue behavior of metals. (5 pts.) 4, Explain briefly what is the endurance limit. 5 pts.) '5, Calculate the fatigue strength of the rotating specimen shown in the figure below knowing that the fatigue life is N= 15,000 cycles. The specimen is machined of an AISI 4340 steel Q&T at 315°C. The dimensions are as follows: d= 40 mm, D= 60 mm, and r= 6mm. (40 pts.) FIGURE A-15-9 Round shaft with shoulor filet in bending. 25 = Moi), where c = ca ‘and |= wa 6. A cylindrical pressure vessel with a 20-in. diameter and a 0.2-in wall thickness is made of a cold drawn steel with Sy = 95 ksi, S)= 60 ksi, and ¢7= 0.15.
