Question: A structural beam is subjected to different loading conditions in service. The beam is constructed from a steel alloy that has limited material testing data

A structural beam is subjected to different loading
conditions in service. The beam is constructed from a
steel alloy that has limited material testing data
available. The manufacturer provides the following
minimum fully-corrected endurance strength, yield
strength and ultimate tensile strength respectively: 276
MPa,413MPa, and 551 MPa . For the following loading
conditions, calculate the safety margin on first-cycle
failure, fatigue failure and estimate the fatigue life using
the Goodman, Gerber and ASME Elliptic failure criteria:
LC1- Steady torsional stress of 103 MPa and alternating
bending stress of 172 MPa
LC2- steady torsional stress of 103 MPa, an alternating
torsional stress of 69 MPa and an alternating bending
stress of 83 MPa .
A structural beam is subjected to different
