Mean Stress Correction dialog box
| Name-Description | |
|---|---|
| Name | Sets a unique name for the parameter. |
| Label | Sets a unique integer for the parameter.The dialog box automatically displays the next available label number. However, you might want to change this if you use a particular series of numbers to identify certain types of parameters. |
| Description | Sets a description for the parameter.This description appears in the Durability Simulation Objects dialog box only if you add the Description column to the list table. To do that, right-click the column heading row and choose Columns→Configure. In the Configure Columns dialog box, select the Description check box and then click OK. |
| Categorization | |
| Category | Sets the category name for this parameter. |
| Sub-Category | Sets the subcategory name for this parameter.The subcategory appears in the Durability Simulation Objects dialog box only if you add the Sub-Category column to the list table. |
| Properties | |
| Properties | Specifies the mean stress correction method to use.For more information, see Mean stress effects, Mean stress correction for normal loads, and Mean stress correction for shear loads. |
| M | Appears when the property is set to NS / Goodman or Torsion / 1 Segment.This value must be between 0.0 and 1.0. |
| M1 | Appears when the property is set to NS / 3 Segments, NS / 4 Segments, or NS / 5 Segments.This value must be between 0.0 and 1.0. |
| M2 | Appears when the property is set to NS / 3 Segments, NS / 4 Segments, NS / 5 Segments, Torsion / 2 Segments, or Torsion / 3 Segments. |
| M3 | Appears when the property is set to NS / 3 Segments, NS / 4 Segments, NS / 5 Segments, Torsion / 2 Segments, or Torsion / 3 Segments.This value must be between 0.0 and 1.0. |
| Limit R (M3) | Appears when the property is set to NS / 4 Segments, NS / 5 Segments, or Torsion / 3 Segments.When the property is set to NS / 4 Segments, limits the correction with slope M3 for 0 < R < 1 to the range 0 < R <Limit R. Beyond this value (for Limit R < R < 1), no more mean stress correction is done. If you do not specify a value, you might have cycles with very small amplitude but high mean stress, which have an equivalent amplitude above the endurance limit.When the property is set to NS / 5 Segments, this value defines the R-value to switch between M3 and M4. |
| M4 | Appears when the property is set to NS / 5 Segments.This value must be between 0.0 and 1.0. |
| Limit R (M4) | Appears when the property is set to NS / 5 Segments. |
| M5 | Appears when the property is set to NS / 5 Segments.This value must be between 0.0 and 1.0. |
