Fatigue notch factor, Kf and notch sensitivity factor, q
Experiments have shown that the effect
of notches is less than that the estimated
effect according a traditional stress
concentration factor, Kt.
The fatigue notch factor, Kf , can be
described as the effective stress
concentration in fatigue.
This effect is dealt with using a notch
sensitivity factor, q.

Fatigue limit modifiing factors
Loading factor, kL
Historically, fatigue limits have been determined from simple
bending tests where there is a stress gradient in the test
specimen. A specimen loaded in tension will have a lower
fatigue limit than one loaded in bending. An empirical
correction factor, called the loading factor, is used to make an
allowance for this effect.

Fatigue limit modifiing factors
Surface finish factor, kSF
Fatigue limits are determined from small polished laboratory specimens. A surface
finish correction is made to estimate the fatigue limit of the part with the actual
surface finish

Fatigue limit modifiing factors
Size factor, kS
Experimentally, larger parts have lower fatigue limits than smaller parts. Since the
materials data is obtained from small specimens, a correction factor, called the size factor,
is used for larger diameters.

Fatigue limit modifiing factors
Size factor, kS
For non-circular sections an effective diameter is computed. The effective diameter is
obtained by equating the volume of material subjected to 95% of the maximum stress to a
round bar in bending with the same highly stressed volume

1. What is difference between the shape factor and the notch factor?
Write their definition equations.
2. Define the notch sensitivity factor of material and write equation for
it (as a function of shape and notch factor).
