From your experience with Prob. 6–71 and Ex. 6–19, you observed that for completely reversed axial and bending fatigue, it is possible to
• Observe the COVs associated with a priori design considerations.
• Note the reliability goal.
• Find the mean design factor \bar{n}_{d} that will permit making a geometric design decision that will attain the goal using deterministic methods in conjunction with \bar{n}_{d} .
Formulate an interactive computer program that will enable the user to find \bar{n}_{d} . While the material properties S _{u t}, S _{y} , and the load COV must be input by the user, all of the COVs associated with \phi _{0.30}, k _{a}, k _{c}, k _{d}, \text { and } K _{f} can be internal, and answers to questions will allow C_{\sigma} \text { and } C_{S}, as well as C_{n} \text { and } \bar{n}_{d} , to be calculated. Later you can add improvements. Test your program with problems you have already solved.
