  1. A ductile material having an endurance limit of 196 N/mm2 and the yield point at 294 N/ mm2 is stressed under variable load. The maximum and minimum stresses are 147 N/ mm2 and 49 N/mm2. The fatigue stress concentration factor is 1.32. The available factor of safety for this loading is
    1. 3.0
    2. 1.5
    3. 1.33
    4. 4.0
Correct Option: B

Consider Soderberg equation

τm =
147 + 49
= 98 MPa
