The stress ratio for a completely reversed cyclic loading during a fatigue test is

  • A.0
  • B.1
  • C.-1
  • D.-1/2

Answer: C

The stress ratio is -1.

The stress ratio is R = σmin/σmax. In completely reversed loading the stress swings between equal tensile and compressive values, σmin = -σmax, so R = -1 and the mean stress is zero.

R = 0 describes zero-to-tension (pulsating) loading, R = 1 a static load with no cycling, and -1/2 a cycle whose compressive peak is half the tensile peak.
