A 6.4mm diameter cylindrical specimen made of 2014-T6 aluminum alloy is subjected to a reverse cycle of tension and compression along the axis. If the maximum tensile and compressive loads are +5340N and -5340N, respectively, determine the fatigue life. The stress presented in the graph is the stress amplitude. 80 500 70 400 50 1045 steel 50 300 Stress amplitude, S (MPa) 40 Stress amplitude (10 psi) 2014-T6 aluminum alloy 200 30 20 100 Red brass 10 0 10 10 1010 104 10' 108 10° 106 107 Cycles to failure, N
