Finding maximum allowable alternating stress using goodmans relation

Click For Summary
To determine the maximum allowable alternating stress using the Goodman relation, the ultimate tensile strength of the steel alloy is 820 MN/m² and the fatigue endurance limit is 390 MN/m². The relationship involves substituting the alternating stress (σa) as 0.3 times the mean stress (σm) and applying the safety factor of 1.5. The formula σa = σfat x (σm/σts) is used, but the user is struggling with rearranging it correctly. Clarification on the correct application of the Goodman method is needed to complete the assignment by the due date.

Homework Statement



(b) A steel alloy has an ultimate tensile strength of 820MN/m2 and a fatigue endurance limit of 390MN/m2. The steel is used in a fatigue application in which the alternating stress is 0.3 times the mean stress. Using the Goodman method with a factor of safety of 1.5 applied determine the maximum allowable alternating stress that will allow safe operation


Homework Equations


σa = σfat x (σm/σts)
Where σa is the alternating stress, σm is the mean stress, σfat is the fatigue endurance limit and σts is the ultimate tensile stress.

The Attempt at a Solution


So far I have substituted σa for 0.3 x σm and tried to rearrange this formula, I have however run into problems and am doubting this is the correct method.

Any ideas? The entire assignment is due in on monday and this is all I'm having problems with.
