Ha, I would if I know exactly what I was doing but I'm still confused on how to get started, do I have to create a Goodman diagram to see how many cycles to failure first?

Thanks for the reply, yes I do mean the safety factor. And I do have all the strength characteristics of the beam, sorry I forgot to mention that in the original post. So is it now possible to calculate the safety factors?

Hi Everyone, I am confused about how to calculate the minimum reserve factor against yielding and fatigue in an I-beam clamped at both ends. I have calculated the maximum bending stress from it's deflection due to a load in the middle of the beam, and I know the cross-sectional area of the...

Hello all, I am confused on how to calculate the maximum bending stress in an I-beam. I found the maximum deflection in each beam where the load is placed at the center of the span. I also know all the cross-sectional dimensions of the I-beam. Is it now possible to calculate it? Thanks
