This, however, is a rare case; localized yielding in most static sit ‘ons is ot objectionable (less than about a thousand Joading cycles). On the frst fad (or overload) application, yielding occurs; the material flows, and when’the jad is removed, residual stress of opposite sign exists (e.g., compressive if the ing w2s tensile). Then on subsequent loadings the stress level does not again ich the yield. The stress-concentration effect has lessened. m ‘Thus, whea ductile behavior and: static loading are anticipated, the effect of sees concentration usually need not be taken into account in reckoning strength, takss yielding at the location of the concentration is prevented by triaxiality or is. oiherwise unacceptable. ~ good engineer will seek to minimize stress concentrations through proper eign, For example, in’ Figure 7.18 the transition from A, to A, would always be done with as large a“radius as possible and never by straight lines, with a resulting sharp comer. / When the stress changes’ in magnitude and/or difection with time, which is termed fatigue, discussed in the following two chaptefs, stress concentration is the “uStimportant factor in failure. Over 80 percent of machine parts which fail do so by fatigue, and nearly all’such failures initiate at a’stress raiser (concentration). Since brittle materials do not yield, the computation of stress must include the stessconcentration factor K,. Steel becomes brittle when itis treated to high hard: 8 and we usually put cast irons in this category as well, though some are quite {ict (malleable iron, for example). Ceramics, which are coming into Widespread ing use, are naturally brittle. Cast iron has many internal irregularities (graphite, slag, etc.) as well as a rough ‘tlc. These irregularities represent points of stress congentration, exactly as does *tachined notch on the surface. Since published strengths are obtained on spec “ts with all these defects, the additional effect of notches, etc, on the surface Suall.

The material was subjected to static stresses, and this was the assumption underlying the failure theories, in Chapter 7. In practice, loads are more often varying than they are constant, e.g.. every moving part of any vehicle, the wing spars and skin of an air¢raft, or the structural members of an offshore drilling platform. The nature of most of these elements demands a great many cycles of service life For example,’ in 80.000 kilometers (km) an automobile valve spring goes through some 10 million compression-extensions, and the’ crankshaft is subjected to twice that number of load cycles. Failure under such conditions has been termed far and it always occurs at stress levels less, and often very.much less, than what would be predicted by static failure theory. 7 The designer of devices which are to be subjected to repeated loadings an ‘ow the strength'limitations of materials under such conditions, We stt by Tel, ing a fitle background history and, then look at the common tests periorm ‘he material properties which derive from them. 1 HISTORICAL OVERVIEW g tests on iron chain 80s, alway axkes capacity, Which cling rapidly, the tesa i i some repeated loading (estlist known studies of fatigue Ae sa Tg ‘one by ini incer in . ar stati weet, Gezman mining ene! inn oh aa ti been the basis of their design.

One has been the study of the aire at the material and theoretical level, which js discussed in this chapter. The other is the testing of components and assemblies, for it was early recognized that there is no sompletely satisfactory substitute for doing this, especially for critical parts. For some: items - that is not a great burden, home washing machines, for example. A good bit of simu- lated use can be accumulated by letting units run in’a company laboratory and making corfections before a new model is released. Then if problems develop in customer use, faulty parts can be redesigned. The proving grounds of automobile ~ manufacturers are a larger.example. Here, of course, product safety is a main con- "am, which has become more and more acute with the development of product liability law in recent years. And the recall of cars to correct a design defect is very costly. SS . ' Over the years there have been a number of fatigue failures in aircraft.
