- Goodman fatigue equation
The Goodman fatigue equation is used by engineers for fatigue analysis. The equation is used to make
correlation s of experimental fatigue data ofmetals and other materials.The equation is also used to determine the failure mechanisms of sucker rods in pumping
oil well s world wide, and to help design new sucker rod strings for rod-pumped oil wells.Sources
From similar triangles the Goodman fatigue equation is :
( 4a) τm /Sus + τa /Ses = 1/n in which the stress components are given by τm = Ks 8 FmC / πd2 where Fm = ( Fhi + Flo ) /2 and τa = Kh 8 Fa C / πd2 where Fa = ( Fhi - Flo ) /2
