With reference to fatigue of engineering components: (a) Draw an S/N curve for steel, showing the Fatigue Limit and two representative stress-cycle conditions on the graph (4) (b) Explain how a component is designed to avoid fatigue failure, using the S/N curve drawn in part (a) (4) (c) Explain how poor maintenance and incorrect machinery operation can result in fatigue failure even though a component is designed to operate below the fatigue limit.
