    ASME viii div 2 fatigue failure probability?

    Thanks TGS4 for a prompt, informative reply. I have a case with a customer requesting us to use this pressure vessel norm, but the application is not a pressure vessel. I argue that this norm is not suitable for regular machine components (forged, machined steel), where you might want to know...

    FEA verification with hand calculations

    I usually check reaction forces, and that displacements are in the correct order of magnitude. This can be verified with hand calc's; free body diagram, displacement of a similar size but "simple" part. Also compare with handbook data for fillet stresses and measurements, if you have such data...
