But only a few machine parts are subjected to static loading. Since many of the machine parts such as axles shafts crankshafts connecting rods springs pinion teeth etc. are subjected to variable or alternating loads also known as fluctuating or fatigue loads therefore we shall discuss in this chapter the variable or alternating stresses. Completely Reversed or Cyclic Stresses Consider a rotating beam of circular cross-section and carrying a load W as shown in Fig. . This load induces stresses in the beam which are cyclic in nature. A little consideration will show that the upper fibres of the beam . at point A are under compressive stress and the lower fibres . at point B are under tensile stress. After 181 CONTENTS Fig. . Reversed or cyclic stresses. 182 A Textbook of Machine Design half a revolution the point B occupies the position of point A and the point A occupies the position of point B. Thus the point B is
