For which one of the following loading conditions is the standard endurance strength multiplied by a load factor, Ke = 0.9?

For which one of the following loading conditions is the standard endurance strength multiplied by a load factor, Ke = 0.9? Correct Answer Reversed axial loads with no bending

Concept:

Endurance strength: The stress level below which an infinite number of loading cycles can be applied to a material without causing fatigue failure.

Modification factors which affect endurance strength found experimentally Se’ are given below. Modified endurance strength Se is:

Se = Ke × Ksize × Krel × Ksurf × Knotch × Ktemp × Km × Se

where, Se' = Endurance limit by Rotating Beam Method.

Rotating Beam Method: It is the experimental technique for fatigue test.

Load factor Ke depends on the applied type of load
