Questions and Answers

How does stress range (S) affect fatigue life (N)?

  • A higher stress range results in a longer fatigue life
  • Stress range only affects the frequency of loading
  • A higher stress range results in a shorter fatigue life (correct)
  • Stress range does not affect fatigue life
  • What is the definition of fatigue life?

  • The frequency of loading (1/p)
  • The number of cycles (N) to failure (correct)
  • The ultimate stress level before failure
  • The stress range (S) at which failure occurs
  • What are S/N curves used to represent?

  • Yield strength vs. stress range (S)
  • Stress range (S) vs. fatigue life (N) (correct)
  • Ultimate stress level vs. frequency of loading
  • Frequency of loading (1/p) vs. stress range (S)
