    Exp-7 Fatigue Test

    Uploaded by

    This document provides instructions for conducting a fatigue test to determine the endurance limit of a given specimen under cyclic loading. The test involves mounting specimens in a fatigue testing machine and applying cyclic bending loads at decreasing stress levels until failure. The number of cycles to failure at each stress level is recorded and used to plot a stress-cycles curve, from which the endurance limit is determined as the stress value at the curve's knee.

    EXPERIMENT: 7 FATIGUE TEST

    AIM:
    To determine the endurance limit of the given specimen under fatigue or cyclic loading.

    APPARATUS AND SPECIMEN REQUIRED:


    1. Fatigue testing machine
    2. Specimen for fatigue test
    3. Set of weights
    4. Scale
    5. Vernier caliper
    6. Pencil / chalk.

    PROCEDURE:
    1. Measure the overall (L), gauge length (Ig) and diameter at the middle portion (d)
    of the given specimen.
    2. Mark the centre of the specimen using pencil / chalk and fix the specimen in the
    machine properly.
    3. Place a suitable weight (W) say, 50kg in the weight in the weight – hanger of the
    machine and release the cam so as to apply the weight / load to the specimen.
    4. Measure the distance between centre of the specimen and centre of the weight –
    hanger (l).
    5. Calculate the bending stress, which will develop in the specimen during test
    using the formula:
    Bending stress, σ = MY

    Where, M = Moment of N mm (= wl)

    I = Moment of inertia in mm4 (πd4/64)

    Y = Extreme fibre distance (=d/2)

    6. Set the electrical counter of the machine to zero position and start the motor of
    the machine.
    7. Record the number indicated on the electrical counter after the specimen failure.
    EXPERIMENT: 7 FATIGUE TEST SoM-CEVL

    8. Calculate the actual number of revolutions (N) under gone by the specimen
    during the test by multiplying the number indicated on the electrical counter with
    constant of multiplication (i.e. 20) given by the manufacture.
    9. Fix another specimen of same material, size and shape in the machine.
    10. Repeat the steps from 3 to 8 with 20% decrease in weight at each time.
    11. Conduct at least 5 tests for a given material with specimen of same material, size
    and shape.
    12. Plot a graph between log σ Vs log N by taking log σ along Y – axis and log N
    along x – axis. The shape of the curve will normally be as shown in figure given
    below.

    Knee of σ – N curve
    Log σ

    13. Read the value of stress corresponding to the knee of σ – N curve, which will be
    the endurance limit stress for the given specimen.

    RESULT:
    The endurance limit stress for the given material of the specimen -------------------N/mm2

    OBSERVATION:
    1. Material of the specimen =

    2. Over all length of the specimen, L = mm

    3. Gauge length of the specimen. lg = mm

    4. Diameter at the middle portion of the specimen, d = mm

    5. Distance between centre of the specimen and centre

    Of the weight – hanger, l = mm
