The figure shows a formed round-wire cantilever spring subjected to a varying force. The hardness tests made on 50 springs gave a minimum hardness of 400 Brinell. It is apparent from the mounting details that there is no stress concentration. A visual inspection of the springs indicates that the surface finish corresponds closely to a hot-rolled finish. What number of applications is likely to cause failure? Solve using:
(a) Modified Goodman criterion.
(b) Gerbercriterion.
