Modified Goodman Diagram
The Modified Goodman Diagram can be constructed for any material when the ultimate tensile
strength, yield strength and endurance limit for a completely reversed stress are known. It is
considered that if a variable stress is superimposed on a steady stress, the plotted results will
determine a maximum and a minimum stress line between which safe operating conditions can be

Worked Example
Determine the diameter of a hot drawn mild steel bar (Sut=430MPa and Sy= 215 MPa) which is subject to a tensile preload of 50 kN and a fluctuating
tensile load which varies between 0 and 100 kN. The design of the bar ends is such that a stress concentration factor of 2 is appropriate for a corresponding fillet radius of 5 mm. The bar should have an infinite life and is subject to a factor of safety of 2.
