    Goodman fatigue equation

    Topic: Engineering

     From Handwiki - Reading time: 1 min

    The Goodman fatigue equation is used by engineers for fatigue analysis. The equation is used to make correlations of experimental fatigue data of metals and other materials.

    The equation is also used to determine the failure mechanisms of sucker rods in pumping oil wells worldwide, and to help design new sucker rod strings for rod-pumped oil wells.

    From similar triangles the Goodman fatigue equation is :

    ( 4a) τm /Sus + τa /Ses = 1/n in which the stress components are given by 

                                         τm   =   Ks 8 FmC / πd2     where   Fm   =   ( Fhi + Flo ) /2     and 
                                     τa   =   Kh 8 Fa C / πd2    where   Fa   =   ( Fhi - Flo ) /2
