MATE 202 LAB- HOMEWORK

1. The fatigue data for a brass alloy are given as follows: (15 point bonus for Quiz 1)

(a) Make an S–N plot (stress amplitude versus logarithm cycles to failure) using these
data. Use excel to draw S-N curve.
(b) Determine the fatigue strength at 5 × 105 cycles.
(c) Determine the fatigue life for 200 MPa

2. A specimen of ductile cast iron having a rectangular cross section of dimensions 4.8
mm × 15.9 mm is deformed in tension. Using the load-elongation data tabulated below,
complete problems (a) through (f). Use excel to draw stress vs strain graph. (25 Point
