Question: Three identical fatigue specimens (denoted A, B, and C) are fabricated from a nonferrous alloy. Each is subjected to one of the maximum-minimum stress cycles

Three identical fatigue specimens (denoted A, B, and C) are fabricated from a nonferrous alloy. Each is subjected to one of the maximum-minimum stress cycles listed below; the frequency is the same for all three tests.

Omin (MPa) Omax MPa) Specimen -350 A +450 -300 B +400 -340

(a) Rank the fatigue lifetimes of these three specimens from the longest to the shortest.

(b) Now justify this ranking using a schematic S?N plot.

Omin (MPa) Omax MPa) Specimen -350 A +450 -300 B +400 -340 +340
