A 2014-T6 aluminium rod (3.5 cm in diameter) is subjected to a repeated tension-compression load cycling along its axis at a frequency of 100 Hz. If the part must last approximately 278 hours before failure, calculate the maximum allowable load amplitude (in N).

(a) Determine the total number of cycles during the time .
(b) What is fatigue strength (i.e. S in the Figure above) in [MPa] at the cycles calculated in (a) for this aluminium alloy ?
(c) Calculate the maximum allowed load in [N] .
