Example

9.10 For AISI 4340 steel in Table 9.1, a life of 1.94x105 cycles to failure is calculated for the stress amplitude of a=500 Mpa. Suggestion is made that parts of this type be replaced when the number of cycles applied reach 1/3 of the life.

a) What is the safety factors in life and in stress

b) Is the suggestion good?
