What is fatigue ?
Se= Ka.Kb.Kc.Kd.Se’
Where,
Ka= Surface finish factor.
Kb= Size factor.
Kc= Reliability factor.
Kd= Modifying factor.
Surface finish factor (Ka)
The surface of the specimen should be uniform.
It is dependant upon how smoothly the surface is
polished.
It should be polished in axial direction only.
When the surface finishing is poor it forms the
scratches and geometric irregularities, which serves as
stress raisers and stress concentrations.
Size factor (Kb)
The theory states that, Larger or grater the size lower
the endurance limit.
The size factor is inversely proportional to the
endurance limit.
The mathematical representation is as under,
