3. A critical stress element has a nominal bending stress cycling between -20 kpsi (compression) and 80 kpsi (tension). There are no axial, torsion or transverse shear stresses acting on the element. There is a bending fatigue stress concentration factor of \(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{f}}=1.5\) that needs to be applied to the bending stresses. The completely adjusted endurance limit for the material is \(\mathrm{Se}=40\mathrm{kpsi}\). Material properties are \(\mathrm{Sy}=100\mathrm{kpsi}\) and Sut =140 kpsi .
(a) Determine the fatigue factor of safety using the Goodman criteria.
(b) Estimate the fatigue life in cycles using the Goodman criteria. (Go through the process of estimating fatigue life even if the safety factor in (a) is 1.0 or greater to show me you know how to do it.)
3 . A critical stress element has a nominal
