Fatigue strength is of importance
whenever a high number of deflections occur over the life of the component
. Contact springs (or other stressed components) can fail during service when the metal is deflected and released a high number of times-even though the metal is not highly stressed.
What is fatigue strength and where it is significant?
Fatigue strength is
the highest stress that a material can withstand for a given number of cycles without breaking
. Fatigue strength is affected by environmental factors, such as corrosion. The maximum stress that can be applied for a certain number of cycles without fracture is the fatigue strength.
What fatigue strength means?
:
the highest stress that a material can withstand for a given number of cycles without breaking
. ā called also endurance strength.
How is the fatigue strength of a material determined?
Measurement of fatigue strength
The SāN diagram
is the most widely used concept when calculating fatigue strength. It is a graph that plots the constant cyclic stress of amplitude S applied to a material specimen against the number of loading cycles N the specimen can withstand before eventually failing.
What is the significance of fatigue?
Fatigue is a symptom of an underlying disease and is described in many ways from
feeling weak to being constantly tired or lacking energy
. There may be other associated symptoms depending upon the underlying cause.
What are the methods used to improve fatigue strength?
Structural notch, normalizing, toughening, nitriding, carburizing, induction hardening
, shot-peening, fatigue strength. Material, constructional and technological agents are the most commonly mentioned agents which effect an increase in fatigue strength.
What is the reason for fatigue failure?
What causes fatigue failure? Fatigue failure is
the formation and propagation of cracks due to a repetitive or cyclic load
. Most fatigue failures are caused by cyclic loads significantly below the loads that would result in yielding of the material.
What is the impact strength?
:
the resistance of a material
(as metal or ceramic ware) to fracture by a blow, expressed in terms of the amount of energy absorbed before fracture.
What factors affect fatigue strength?
The internal factors include
the composition, microstructure, purity and residual stress of the material
. The slight change of these factors will cause the fluctuation or even great change of material fatigue performance. The influence of various factors on fatigue strength is an important aspect of fatigue research.
What is structure fatigue?
Fatigue is defined as a
process of progressive localized plastic deformation occurring in a material subjected to cyclic stresses and strains at high stress concentration locations that may culminate in cracks or complete fracture after a sufficient number of fluctuations
. From: Metal Fatigue Analysis Handbook, 2012.
What is high impact strength?
Impact strength is the capability of the material to withstand a suddenly applied load and is expressed in terms of energy. ā¦ In order for a material or object to have a high impact strength,
the stresses must be distributed evenly throughout the object
.
What is the difference between endurance limit and fatigue strength?
The Fatigue refers to the failure of the machine component due to the repeated or cyclic loading. Whereas the fatigue strength or fatigue limit or Endurance limit is used to describe the
material property that the cyclic load can be applied to the material without causing the failure
.
What initiates the crack in fatigue?
Dislocations
play a major role in the fatigue crack initiation phase. It has been observed in laboratory testing that after a large number of loading cycles dislocations pile up and form structures called persistent slip bands (PSB).
What are the 3 types of fatigue?
- Transient fatigue is acute fatigue brought on by extreme sleep restriction or extended hours awake within 1 or 2 days.
- Cumulative fatigue is fatigue brought on by repeated mild sleep restriction or extended hours awake across a series of days.
What is the best medicine for fatigue?

What is the best treatment for fatigue?
Getting regular physical activity
can help reduce fatigue and improve sleep. Those who have not been physically active for some time should introduce exercise gradually. A doctor or sports therapist can help. People should exercise during the time of day that is most productive for them.
