ABSTRACT
Usually the purpose of a fatigue test is to determine the lifespan that may be
expected from a material subjected to cyclic loading, however fatigue strength
and crack resistance are commonly sought values as well. The fatigue life of a
material is the total number of cycles that a material can be subjected to under a
single loading scheme. A fatigue test is also used for the determination of the
maximum load that a sample can withstand for a specified number of cycles. All
of these characteristics are extremely important in any industry where a material
is subject to fluctuating instead of constant forces.

The aim of this thesis work is to discuss the principle of fatigue failure, research
the state of the art fatigue testing methods and finally design a verification
fatigue test set-up to evaluate the performance of the newly developed dynamic
testing machine.

A comprehensive study of the underlying principle, stages and numerous factors

that makes fatigue such a complex phenomenon was carried out. This was
closely followed by research work on the standard fatigue testing methods and
statistical analysis of fatigue test results. Based on the knowledge gained from
the research work stated above, a four-point fully reversed bending set-up design
was developed to put into test the functionality of the dynamic testing machine
once it is ready to run and also a planned fatigue test suitable for laboratory
exercise in a material science or engineering design class was developed.

1. INTRODUCTION

There are millions of materials and their uses are also multitudinous. These large
number of materials came into existence because of various number of industrial needs
for them. The particular property or combination of properties of material should
possess, depends on its specific use and service conditions.
With the development of various machines structure of most of them for simple,
the necessities for materials which possess properties within narrow specific ranges are
arisen. The properties can be classified as;
1. Physical
2. Chemical
3. Mechanical
The fatigue testing machine is based on the material property of mechanical
properties.
These mechanical properties include strength properties like tensile,
compression, shear, torsion, impact, fatigue and creep.
Fatigue testing machine is used for determine the fatigue limit or endurance
limit of any material.

Working of fatigue testing machine:-

0.5 HP motor is used to drive the MS shaft. O.5 HP motor is connected with 3
inch cast iron pulley and MS shaft is connected with the 6 inch cast iron pulley. Both
the pulley is join with V – belt drive & power is transmitted throw motor to 3 inch cast
iron pulley , than 3 inch pulley to 6 inch cast iron pulley with the help of V – Belt drive
and MS shaft start rotating with 6720 RPM speed.
Two pedestal bearing with bearing housing is connected to MS shaft. Both of
the end of MS shaft has two bearing housing because they are used to support the MS
shaft. So due to this bearing hosing moment of MS shaft is easily done.
Between the 6 inch pulley and one bearing housing one 2.5 inch plastic pulley is
mounted. Plastic pulley is connected with small cast iron mechanical counters pulley.
Than power is transmitted throw plastic pulley to mechanical counter 2.5 inch cast iron
pulley and then mechanical counter count the rotation.
Before the one bearing housing 3 jaw drill chuck is mounted. Due to connection
of MS shaft and 3 jaw drill chuck, rotation of shaft is transmitted throw 3 jaw drill
chuck and 3 jaw drill chuck start rotating.
At one end of Specimen is fixed at 3 jaw drill chuck and another end of
specimen is fixed with load hanger.
When machine is start, specimen gets start rotating and due to rotation and load
hanger weight twisting, bending & combined twisting – bending stress are produce in
specimen and after some rotation specimen gets break.
With the help of total loads and number of rotation, S-N curve graph is produce
and fatigue limit of specimen is determine.
 For determining fatigue limit we should take three reading .for taking three
reading break three specimen. Then put all three reading on S-N curve graph and in this
way we can find the specimens fatigue limit.

S-N CURVE:-
Fatigue is generally understood as the gradual deterioration of a material which
is subjected to cyclic loads. In fatigue testing, a specimen is subjected to periodically
varying constant amplitude stress. The applied stresses may alternate between equal
positive and negative value from zero to maximum positive or negative value, or
between equal positive and negative values or between unequal positive and negative
values.
A series of fatigue tests are made on a number of specimens of the material at
different stress levels. The stress endured is then plotted against the number of cycle
sustained. By choosing lower and lower stresses, a value may be found which will not
produce failure, regardless of the number of applied cycle. This stress value is called the
fatigue limit of the material or the endurance limit. The plot of the two terms is called
stress cycle diagram or S-N diagram. The fatigue limit may be established for most
steels between 2 and 10 million cycles. Non-ferrous metals such as aluminum usually
show no clearly defined fatigue limit. (Mark´s Standard-Handbook/Strength of
Materials).

This research is centered on the design of a low–cost cantilever loading rotating

bending fatigue testing machine using locally sourced materials. The design principle
was based on the adaptation of the technical theory of bending of elastic beams. Design
drawings were produced and components/materials selections were based on
functionality, durability, cost and local availability. The major parts of the machine: the
machine main frame, the rotating shaft, the bearing and the bearing housing, the
specimen clamping system, pulleys, speed counter, electric motor, and dead weights;
were fabricated and then assembled following the design specifications. The machine
performance was evaluated using test specimens which were machined in conformity
with standard procedures. It was observed that the machine has the potentials of
generating reliable bending stress – number of cycle’s data also the machine has the
advantages of ease of operation and maintenance, and is safe for use

Many engineering machines and mechanical components are subjected to

fluctuating stresses, taking place at relatively high frequencies and under these
conditions failure is found to occur. This is “fatigue failure”. And this led to the
invention of a fatigue testing machine. In view of effective design that will not fail
accidentally, this research is conceived. This testing machine will determine the
strength of materials under the action of fatigue load. Specimens are subjected to
repeated varying forces or fluctuating loading of specific magnitude while the cycles or
stress reversals are counted to destruction. The first test is made at a stretch that is
somewhat under the ultimate strength of the material. The second test is made at a
stress that is less that than that used in the first. The process is continued, and results are
plotted.

Fatigue failures are reported to account for more than 75% of documented
materials failures of which a great percent occur catastrophically. Study of fatigue life is
essential in many industrial and specialized fields such as aerospace, defense, power
generation etc. Fatigue life of a component can be found by various fatigue testing
machines based on the loading condition. In the present study a low–cost four point
loading rotating bending fatigue testing machine is designed, fabricated and tested. The
design principle is based on the adaptation of the technical theory of bending of elastic
beams. The machine performance was evaluated using test specimens which were
machined in conformity with standard procedures. It was observed that the machine has
the potentials of generating combined bending and torsional stress. Specimens of
diameter varying between 6 to 8 mm where subjected to loads between 30Kgs to 90Kgs
and the number of cycles to failure was found by both experimental method and
theoretical calculations. It was observed that the results are under close agreement.

3.3.2. Pulleys:-
 Fig: 3.3.2 Pulleys

In all we used 2 cast iron pulleys. The 3 inch cast iron pulley is mounted on
motor shaft and 6 inch pulley is mounted on main shaft also the 3 inch plastic pulley is
mounted on shaft which drives the counter as shown in fig.3.2.
A pulley is a wheel on an axle or shaft that is designed to support movement and
change of direction of a taut cable, supporting shell is referred to as a “block.”A pulley
may also be called a sheave or drum and may have a groove or grooves between two
flanges around its circumference. The drive element of a pulley system can be a rope ,
cable ,belt , or chain that runs over the pulley inside the groove or grooves.
Pulleys are also assembled as part of belt and chain drives in order to transmit power
from one rotating shaft.

3.3.5. Shaft:-
 Fig. 3.3.5 Shaft

The shaft is made up of mild steel with minimum diameter of 16mm at the point
where chuck is mounted. The maximum diameter of shaft is 28mm and the diameter at
the parts where bearing are press fitted is 25mm, length of shaft is 330mm.The shaft
Rotates at speed of 3000rpm or more. The shaft is supported by two bearing housing.
The details of the shaft are as shown in fig.3 .5
 They are mainly classified into two types:-
Transmission shafts are used to transmit power between the source and the machine
absorbing power; e.g. counter shafts and line shafts. Machine shafts are the integral part
of the machine itself; e.g. crankshaft .
 Materials:-
The material used for ordinary shafts is mild steel . When high strength is required,
an alloy steel such as nickel, nickel-chromium or chromium-vanadium steel is used.
Shafts are generally formed by hot rolling and finished to size by cold drawing or
turning.

3.3.5. Bearing Housing:-

 Fig: - 3.3.5. Bearing housing

Bearing housing are used to locate the bearing which is turn support the shaft
for proper working. It is split type housing, the upper part is fitted to the base part by
means of nuts and bolts. It is made of cast iron.
Firstly the bearings are mounting on the shaft by press fitting. Then we placed
the shaft in housing in such a way that the bearing of shaft gets located into the slots
provided in the housing. Finally we put the cap of the housing and tighten it with nuts
and bolts.
Bearing housings are usually made of grey cast iron. However, various grades
of metals can be used to manufacture the same, including ductile iron, steel, stainless
steel, and various types of thermoplastics and polyethylene-based plastics. The bearing
element may be manufactured from 52100 chromium steel alloy (the most common),
stainless steel, plastic, or bushing materials such as SAE660 cast bronze, or SAE851 oil
impregnated sintered bronze, or synthetic materials.

3.3.6. Jaw drill chuck:-

 Fig: 3.3.6 Jaw drill chuck

The chuck is used to hold the specimen it is a three jaw drill which is self-
centered. It has three jaws which are housed in slot cut 120 apart in the chuck body,
which houses these jaws having thread cut at the back that mashes with a ring nut. The
ring nut is attached to the sleeve. Bevel teeth are cut along around the sleeve body.
This sleeve may be rotated by rotating a key having bevel teeth on the sleeve.
The rotation of the sleeve causes the ring nut to rotate in affixed position and the entire
three jaws center, holding or releasing the job. The chuck is having 16TPI threads at
the back and hence it is screwed to the shaft.
Some high precision chucks used ball thrust bearings to reduce friction in the
closing mechanism and maximize drilling torque. One brand name for this type of
chuck, which is often generalized in colloquial used although not in catalogues, is
super-chucks.

3.3.11. Bearing:-

Bearing used are ball bearing. [SKF mark] made up of high quality steel. In all
we have used two bearing which are used to support the shaft i.e. [SKF6205].
Ball bearings tend to have lower load capacity for their size than other kinds of
Fig: 4.3.11. Bearing
rolling element bearings due to the smaller contact area between the balls and races.
However, they can tolerate some miss alignment of the inner and outer races.

.
3.3.12.Setting Up The Machine
The base should first of all be set leveled so that the weight will hang
perpendicularly to the axis of the specimen. Wires in conduct from the power supply
 are run to the connecting block in the base of the machine and soldered to the lugs
provided. The machine is equipped to operate from an AC power source at 10volts,
60 cycles, and single phase. Motor and relay equipment to operate from a power
source of different rating can be provided on special order. With mild steel legs, the
machine is set on five rubber tyres. The weight hanger is of such length that it will
clear the desk since it is mounted on the legs. A shock absorber in the hanger
prevents the slight vibration of the housing from being impacted to the weight. The
base is provided with holes so it can be bolted down if desired.
Assemble the housing with a sample of specimen provided in accordance with the
direction given below, and start the machine to see if there is any misalignment. This
will be indicated by noise and vibration. Examine the housing wind for oil. It should
stand about midway of the windows when the machine is idle.

5. TESTING

Purpose of testing:-
“One of the important considerations in design of a machine is ‘strength’, a
characteristic that enables the device to serve its function safely and well”.
Mechanical testing is concerned with determination of load and change in
length. These are than translated into terms of stress and strain through considerations
of the dimensions of the test piece.
Mechanical properties include the strength properties like tension, bending,
compression, shear, torsion, impact, creep, fatigue and hardness.
Fatigue test is a long time test in which the specimen is subjected to repeated
load of small magnitude whereas the creep test can be practically considered as a high
temperature tensile test.
Taking into account all the properties, these tests can be classified into two major
categories as follows:-
1. Reactive test.
2. Service condition test.

Reactive test:-
In reactive test, the tensile, bending, shear, compression, torsion test are
accommodated, while the fatigue, creep and impact test are the actually service
condition tests. In any testing process, the actual use of material is kept in view and the
necessity for the test is first decided.
The two groups of tests, destructive type and non-destructive type can be classified
further:-
Destructive Type:-
a) Tension Test.
b) Compression Test.
c) Shear Test.
d) Bending Test.
e) Impact Test.
f) Creep Test.
g) Fatigue Test.
h) Hardness Test.
Non-destructive type:-
a) Visual Examination.
b) Leakage Testing.
c) Penitent Method.
d) Magnetic Method.
e) Acoustic Method.
f) Radiography.
g) Thermal Tests.
h) Electrical Methods.

Test Procedure:-
A number of standards test specimens are made from the metal under test. The
first specimen is tested at a high value of load. The number of revolutions the specimen
experienced before fracturing is noted on the counter. Another specimen is fixed in the
machine and this time, the load is slightly decreased the number of revolutions that are
indicated in the counter this time, will be more than that in the previous case. The other
specimens are also time reducing the load, and noting the number of revolutions .The
procedure is continued until a value of stress is reached when the specimen dose not
fail, say even after 10 million revolutions.
From the data thus obtained, the stress number of reversals of referred to as an
S-N diagram, is plotted .The stress value is plotted on the Y-axis &the number of stress
value at which the curve become nearly horizontal, is taken to be endurance limit of the
metal.
Fatigue Failure In Service:-
Fatigue failure is most common in shafts, main shafts of automobile and naval
vessels etc. The keyways, changes in sections, screw threads & oil-holes, are the
general originators fatigue failure. Very interesting fatigue failure occurred in the mid-
fifties due to which the B.O.A.C comet air craft were cost.
 The plane leakages recovered from the sea beds were investigated into and it
was determined that the fatigue failure of the fuselage. It was assumed that the cracks
originated at the corners of the aerial windows.
Torsion Fatigue Testing:-
The advent of torsion bar suspension of automobiles and the requirements of
the service condition testing of springs brought out the necessity of torsion fatigue
testing. The Scheck Torstar is one that operates on the principle of mechanical response.
torsion fatigue can also be determined by the combined stress fatigue testing machine
this machine, practically can test the fatigue strength under any type of loading by a
suitable variation of the specimen mounting

The Role Of Testing:-

The extensive use of experimental studies preliminary to design and
construction of new mechanical and structural elements and use of testing procedure for
control for established process for manufacturing and construction are significant as
well as recognized features of our technical development. Practically all branches of
engineering those dealing with structures and machines are concerned with materials
the properties of which must be determined by test successfully mass production
depends on inspection and control of quality of manufactured product which implies
system of sampling and testing. The preparation of adequate specifications and
acceptance of material purchased under specifications involved and understanding
methods of testing and inspection. Engineering research and development functions in
large measures on an experimental basis and call for carefully planned and well devised
test.

.˙. Fъ = 6ъ = 17.43 N/mm²

Taking value,
Fъ = 6ъ = 17.83 N/mm²

Maximum permissible working stress for shaft without allowance for

key way= 88N/mm².

Since the stress value that we have obtained i.e. 17.43 N/mm² is much
less than the max permissible stress value i.e. 88 N/mm² and our design is safe.

Selection of bearing used for supporting the Shaft:-

 Calculate the reactions R A ∧RB
R A + R B = 190 N ------1
Taking moment about ‘A’
(3×3 107.5) + (30× 138.5) + (157×277) = 199.5
RB = 240.43 N
R A = -50.43 N
Negative sign indicates that at section ‘A’ is in downward direction.
Out of the two bearing the max reaction is on bearing R A , Hence we will
design the bearing for load = 240.43 N equivalent load

OPERATING PRINCIPLE:-

The specimen loading arrangement results in a constant bending moment W × L

over the test length of specimen.

Where,W = Load (kg)

L = Length =95.5 mm

∴ Bending moment (M) = W × L

 ∴ Bending moment (M) = 95.5 x W (kg-mm)

∴ Bending strength (fb) = M/Z kg/mm2

∴ Z = section modulus =

fB =

Where:- W in kg

RB In kg/mm2

M in kg-mm

d in mm

Note: - The load ‘w’ includes the weight of loading assembly and hanger.

Testing example:-

The testing machine is mainly used for the two purposes

1. To study the behavior of material to draw S-N curve.

2. To study the material for expected number of revolution at specific stress.

In the first case, large number of specimen out of the same stock of subject
material is prepared. Different loads are applied producing different bending stresses on
this specimen and the number of revolutions at which specimen fail are revolution on x-
axis and y-axis. The S-N dia. which is a graph of stress on y-axis and number of
revolutions on x-axis on semi logarithmic graph is then drawn. This diagram tells us
about the behavior of material under application of repeated load.

In the second case, generally the bending stress to be applied is decided upon
the design requirements suppose the design requirement is such that it should with
stand a bending stress of 4000 Kg/mm². Then the load is to be applied is calculated as
follows:-

95.5× W ×32
Rb =
π×d ³

π × d ³ × Rb
W=
32× 9.55

Where, d=0.70cm

3.14 ×(0.70) ³ × 4000

W=
32 ×9.95

∴ W=15.33Kg

This load is applied and the number of revolution at which the specimen
fails are recorded and checked against the expected.

Observation & S-N Curve Diagram:-

We test the specimen of the material on the machine for different stress value,
i.e. for different loads. The number of stress cycles after which the specimen fails is
noted from the mechanical counter reading.
The first specimen is tested at large stress value so that the failure will occur
after small number of application of stress. Succeeding specimens are then tested at
lower stress value so that the number of revolution required will be increase or the
stress decreases.
 At least three reading should be taken for each load and the observation table is
made.

2 17 × 9.81 N 4.33 N/mm² 2625 rpm

3 15 × 9.81 N 3.82 N/mm² 2792 rpm

After taking the reading we plot curve between stress on Y axis and number of
stress cycles on X axis on semi logarithmic graph.
The number of the curve is as shown in Fig.

Result Analysis
We test the specimen of the material on the machine for different stress value
i.e. for different loads. The number of stress cycles after which the specimens fails is
noted from the mechanical counter reading.
The first specimen is tested at larger stress value so that the failure will occur
after small number of application of stress. Succeeding specimen are then tested at
lower stress values so that the number of revolution required will be increase as the
stress decrease. At least three reading should be taken for each load and the observation
table is made. We multiply the reading of mechanical counter by 5.4 so as to get the
actual number of stress cycles.
After taking the readings we plot curve between stress on Y-axis and number of
stress cycles on X -axis on semi logarithmic graph.
As results S-N curve shows the fatigue limit of tested specimen and life of
specimen is determined.

6.SCOPE AND APPLICABILITY

 Most of element of structure or machine that are subjected to repeated stresses
are made of metal principally steel-only in certain type of structure does the question of
fatigue require consideration. In general, fluctuation in the stress. In bridges and
building are large enough occur often enough to produce failure.
In instances, notably in rapidly moving machines, and in parts subjected to
server vibration, appreciable stress fluctuation may occur during the useful life of
machine or structure. The crank shaft of piston type airplane motor is subjected to about
20million reversals of stress in less than 200 hours of flying.
Fatigue must be considered in design of many parts subjected ti cycles of stress
such as motor shaft, bolts, springs, gears teeth, turbine blades, airplane and automobile
parts, steam and gas engine parts and gas engine parts and many machine parts
subjected to cyclic loading.

7. DISCUSSION:-
7.1. Advantges Of Fatigue Testing Machine:-
1. This Fatigue testing machine is suitable for determining any shapes &
sizes specimen fatigue limit.
2. Any type of materials specimen can easily tested by our fatigue testing
machine.
3. Machine satisfy the all particular property of component in which the
component proved to be deficient by testing.
4. Proper life of specimen can easily determine by this machine.
5. No requirement of any skilled worker.
6. Total cost of this machine is less as compare to any other machine
which present in market.
7. Size of machine less as compare to other machine which present in
market.

7.2 Limitation Of Fatigue Testing Machine:-

1. Machine is totally manually operated.
2. Requirement of operator is necessary.
3. Testing is purely based on calculation.
4. Machine take more time for determining fatigue limit of specimen due
to calculation.
5. Wastage of specimen is done due to testing.
6. Machine used power supply for testing.

7.3 Precautions Of Fatigue Testing Machine:-

1. Proper arrangement of all component of fatigue testing machine.

2. Tightly fitting of all nuts and bolts. Loose fitting of nuts and bolts
cause more vibration on machine.
3. Do not take hand on belts drive and pulley while machine running.
4. Properly fitting of specimen in 3 jaw drill chuck.
5. While taking test reset every time mechanical counter.
6. Proper maintenance and oiling of machine in every 6 to 10 days.

8. CONCLUSION

From the S-N curve graph we get the value of endurance limit or fatigue limit of
the tested material. The stress value at which the curve turns parallel to X- axis
indicating that if we apply stress below this value for infinite number of stress / cycles
the specimen will not break this stress value is called endurance limit or fatigue limit of
the material. In our fatigue testing machine case, we have carried out the testing of mild
steel and the endurance limit was found out to be 4 kg/ mm2 .
When fatigue stress is induced on a material due to the action of force reversing and
fluctuating, a failure known as fatigue failure takes place. The study and test conducted
so far shows that fatigue failure cannot be predicted accurately since material failure
under fatigue are affected not by just reversal loading alone but also the number of
revolution (cycle per minute) and fluctuating stress and other factors such as
temperature, atmospheric condition, both internal and external defect on material
subjected under fatigue stress. Such defect includes notch, inclusion, stress
concentration and non-homogeneity

Suggesions:-
This fatigue testing machine is used for determining the endurance limit or
fatigue limit of any material .for determining the endurance limit or fatigue limit of any
material this type of machine is very important.
Many fatigue testing machine are present in market but all these machine are
very costly and big in size and shape .our machine cost is less as compare to any other
machine which are present in market and our machine size and shape is also less as
compare to any other machines which are present in market.
But one limitation of our fatigue testing machine is that our machine is totally
manually operated and one operator is necessary for our fatigue testing machine.
But future scope for our machine is, we add some sensor on our fatigue machine
and make fully automatic fatigue testing machine in less price and in less size.
