Answer:

275 MPa, -175 MPa

-0.63636

450 MPa

Explanation:

[tex]\sigma_{max}[/tex] = Maximum stress

[tex]\sigma_{min}[/tex] = Minimum stress

[tex]\sigma_m[/tex] = Mean stress = 50 MPa

[tex]\sigma_a[/tex] = Stress amplitude = 225 MPa

Mean stress is given by

[tex]\sigma_m=\frac{\sigma_{max}+\sigma_{min}}{2}\\\Rightarrow \sigma_{max}+\sigma_{min}=2\sigma_m\\\Rightarrow \sigma_{max}+\sigma_{min}=2\times 50\\\Rightarrow \sigma_{max}+\sigma_{min}=100\ MPa\\\Rightarrow \sigma_{max}=100-\sigma_{min}[/tex]

Stress amplitude is given by

[tex]\sigma_a=\frac{\sigma_{max}-\sigma_{min}}{2}\\\Rightarrow \sigma_{max}-\sigma_{min}=2\sigma_a\\\Rightarrow \sigma_{max}-\sigma_{min}=2\times 225\\\Rightarrow \sigma_{max}-\sigma_{min}=450\ MPa\\\Rightarrow 100-\sigma_{min}-\sigma_{min}=450\\\Rightarrow -2\sigma_{min}=350\\\Rightarrow \sigma_{min}=-175\ MPa[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_{max}=100-\sigma_{min}\\\Rightarrow \sigma_{max}=100-(-175)\\\Rightarrow \sigma_{max}=275\ MPa[/tex]

Maximum stress level is 275 MPa

Minimum stress level is -175 MPa

Stress ratio is given by

[tex]R=\frac{\sigma_{min}}{\sigma_{max}}\\\Rightarrow R=\frac{-175}{275}\\\Rightarrow R=-0.63636[/tex]

The stress ratio is -0.63636

Stress range is given by

[tex]\sigma_{max}-\sigma_{min}=450\ MPa[/tex]

Magnitude of the stress range is 450 MPa
