The rotating-beam endurance limit is usually known.
The actual endurance limit in a part is often not known.
We introduce Marin factors to adjust the rotating-beam en ice limit to
match the actual part

+ Surface finish has an impact on initiation of crack at localized stress

+ Surface factor is function of ultimate strength. Higher strengths are
more sensitive to rough surfaces.

load type is present.
Temperature Factor, k_d
+ If the ultimate tensile strength is known at the operating
temperature, use the strength and set k_d=1.
+ If the ultimate tensile is only known at room temperature, then
use Table 6-4 to estimate the ultimate strength at the operating
temperature and set k_d=1. Alternatively use the raom
temperature strength and use the k_d given in the table.

+ When the endurance limit is plotted versus tensile strength for
steels, scatter is observed. We take the average line through the
data to find Se/Sut=0.5.

There exist many other conditions that can modify the endurance limit. The
k_f factor exists as a reminder that these conditions must be incorporated
into the design process. The value of the k_f factor is not always available.
Additional experiments may be required to characterize the behavior.

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.ExamplesExample 6-8 S, = Matte. Se
A 1015 hot-rolled steel bar has been machined to a diameter of | in. It is to be placed
in reversed axial Toading for 70 000 cycles to failure in an operating environment of
550°F. Using ASTM minimum properties, and a reliability of 99 percent, estimate the

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. From Table 64.

Next, we determine the Marin factors. For the machined surface, Eq. (6-19) with

For axial loading, from Eq. (6-21), the size factor ky = 1. and from Eq. (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-
