We know that in S-N curve the failure occurs at 106 cycles (at endurance
strength)
We have to make the S-N curve from the given data, on the scale of log 10 .
Now equation of line whose end point co-ordinates are
^log 10 1000, log 10 490h and ^log 10 10 , log 10 70h
6

or ^3, log 10 490h and ^6, log 10 70h,

y − log 10 490 log 10 70 − log 10 490 y − y1 y 2 − y1
x−3
=
6−3 b x − x1 = x 2 − x1 l
y − 2.69
= 1.845 − 2.69
x−3 3
y − 2.69 =− 0.281 (x − 3) ...(i)
Given, the shaft is subject to an alternating stress of 100 MPa
So, y = log 10 100 = 2
Substitute this value in equation (i), we get
2 − 2.69 =− 0.281 (x − 3)
− 0.69 =− 0.281x + 0.843
x = − 0.843 − 0.69 = 5.455
− 0.281
And log 10 N = 5.455
N = 105.455 = 285101
The nearest shaft life is 281914 cycles.

SOL 5.30 Option (B) is correct.

Given : l = 60 mm = 0.06 m , s = 6 mm = 0.006 m , P = 15 kN = 15 # 103 N

Shear strength = 200 MPa
We know that, if τ is the allowable shear stress for the weld metal, then the
shear strength of the joint for single parallel fillet weld,
P = Throat Area # Allowable shear stress
= t#l#τ
