is subjected to several cyclic bending
loading. e number of cycles and the bending moment amplitudes of this cyclic bend-
ing loading are all constants. Information of this fully reversed bending loading is listed
in the first three columns of Table 2.70. e component fatigue strength index K on
the critical section for the cyclic bending loading is listed in the last three columns of
Table 2.70. For the component fatigue strength index K, the stress unit is ksi. Calculate
the reliability of this beam.
