Failure of Titanic
For ferrous materials like steels, the S–N curve becomes at 106 cycles, indicates
the stress amplitude corresponding to infinite number of stress cycles.The
magnitude of this stress amplitude at 106 cycles represents the endurance limit of
the material. Stress amplitude below Fatigue limit give ‘infinite life’
1.Loading
Nature and type of loading: -Axial tension, bending, torsion and combined
loading-Mean and Variable components in case of Repeated, Fluctuating and
Alternating loading and Frequency of loading and rest periods
2. Geometry
Size effects and stress concentration
3.Material
Composition, structure, directional properties and notch sensitivity
4. Manufacturing
Surface finish, heat treatment, residual stresses
5.Environment
Corrosion, high temperature, radiation
