SubscriberHello,
I am going to do fatigue analysis for alloy 2024-T6 and alloy 2099. But in fatigue analysis settings there is "Fatigue StrengthÂ
Factor (Kf)" section. What should i do in here? For the aluminium alloys, is there a general Kf value?
Thanks -

Ansys EmployeeKf is just a general modification factor (always equal to or less than 1.0) used to reduce the fatigue resistance. For example, the test specimens used to develop the S-N curve are typically polished, but the actual material might have a rough surface finish. Kf can be used include the surface finish effect.

SubscriberIs there a handbook, table or formulation on what the Kf value should be? I am not sure what value I should take.

Ansys EmployeeNo. Typically Kf=1. You need to understand how the S-N curve was developed and how the part was manufactured to assess if another Kf is appropriate. Based on that knowledge, you might be able to find a reference that discusses the appropriate Kf.
