The design engineer must carefully think about the environment and conditions the design will be subject to and identify the appropriate modification factors for the design.

It is to be placed in reversed axial Toading for 70 000 cycles to failure in an operating environment of 550°F.

Sap" Lo) TEES Solution ° 3 — From Table A-20, Sq = 50 kpsi at 70°F, Since the rotating-beam speclifien endurance imit is not known at room temperature, we determine the ultimate strength at the ele- vated temperature first, using Table 6-4.

(6-26) the load ing factor is ke = 0.85. The temperature factor kg = 1, since we accounted for the tem= perature in modifying the ultimate strength and consequently the endurance limit. For 99 percent reliability, from Table 6-5, ke =0.814. Finally, since no other conditions were given, the miscellaneous factor is Ar= 1. The endurance limit for the partis esti- mated by Eq.
