a. If the most conservative fatigue criterion as shown in the figure below were used for infinite life design, the first cycle yield failure check is not needed. True or False
b. It is easier to find the asymptotic value of fatigue strength as the endurance limit on the S-N curve for the CZ3000 alloy than that of endurance limit on the S-N curve for the 1045 steel. True or False
c. "Through the notch sensitivity approach, you obtain a fatigue stress concentration factor higher than the stress concentration factor under static loading condition." True or False
d. Since the contact stress and load relation is not linear in rolling, the Hertzian endurance strength should increase nonlinearly with the hardness of the contact material. True or False
e. Refer to the figure below. Even though the cyclic loading accidentally caused the stresses to exceed the levels at point A slightly (as marked by the red arrow), the machine part may not break instantly according to the Modified Goodman fatigue failure criterion. True or False
