They determine that the Sway Bar Link will be subjected to a cyclical loading, from Zero up to the trailer's loaded weight (900lbs). Sway Bar End Link Assumptions: Sway Bar Su = 67ksi" Sway Bar K. = 48 Bushing Safety Factor= 1.5 a. Determine what Diameter of Aluminum bar (S-N graph below) would be required to withstand 3x10 loading cycles. b.
