3(a)
A 4340 steel bar is subjected to a fluctuating axial load that varies from a maximum
of 300 kN in tension to a minimum of 100 kN in compression. The mechanical
properties of the steel are as follows:
Tensile strength, ts = 1090 MPa,
Yield strength, ys = 1010 MPa,
Fatigue strength for complete reversed loading, fat = 510 MPa.
Determine the diameter of the bar to give infinite fatigue life based on a safety factor
of 2.5.

For design purposes master diagrams are used to represent the influence of mean
stress on fatigue. Explain how a designer might utilize a master diagram as shown in
Figure 3.
