A material is known to have a fully modified endurance strength of 60 kpsi, a yield strength of 120 kpsi, and an ultimate tensile strength of 150 kpsi. A beam made of this material subject to repeated bending stress that goes from 0 psi to 110 kpsi. Using Gerber as our failure criterion   a. Does the beam have infinite life?   b. What is the equivalent fully-reversed stress?   c. How many cycles do we expect this beam to last?
