prepared with the necessary care. The user is expected to decide, whether the
guideline meets his particular requirements, and to observe appropriate care in
its application. Neither the publisher nor the editor, the involved experts, or the

Preface to the English Version of
the 5th
Edition.
For engineers concerned with construction and
calculation in mechanical engineering or in related fields
of industry the FKM-Guideline for analytical strength
assessment is available since 1994. This guideline was
elaborated by an expert group "Strength of components"
of the "Forschungskuratorium Maschinenbau (FKM),
Frankfurt/Main," with financial support by the
Bundesministerium fur Wirtschaft (BMWi), by the
"Arbeitsgemeinschaft industrieller Forschungsvereini
gungen 'Otto von Guericke" and by the "Forschungs
kuratorium Maschinenbau.
Based on former TGL standards and on the former
guideline VDI 2226, and referring to more recent
sources it was developed to the current state of
knowledge.
The FKM-Guideline
- is applicable in mechanical engineering and in related
fields of industry,
- allows the analytical strength assessment for rod
shaped (lD), for shell-shaped (2D) and for block-shaped
(3D) components under consideration of all relevant
influences,
- describes the assessment of the static strength and of
the fatigue strength, the latter according to an assessment
of the fatigue limit, of the constant amplitude fatigue
strength, or of the variable amplitude fatigue strength
according to the service stress conditions,
- is valid for components from steel, cast steel, or cast
iron materials at temperatures from -40°C to 500 °C, as
well as for components from aluminum alloys and cast
aluminum alloys at temperatures from -40°C to 200 °C,
- is applicable for components produced with or without
machining, or by welding,
- allows an assessment in considering nominal stresses as
well as local elastic stresses derived from finite element
or boundary element analyses, from theoretical
mechanics solutions, or from measurements.
A uniformly structured calculation procedure applies to
all of these cases of application. The calculation
procedure is almost completely predetermined. The user
has to make some decisions only.
The FKM-Guideline is a commented algorithm,
consisting of statements, formulae, and tables. Most of
the included figures have an explanatory function only.

Textual declarations are given where appropriate to
ensure a reliable application.
Its content complies with the state of knowledge to an
extend that may be presented in a guideline and it
enables quite comprehensive possibilities of calculation.
The employed symbols are adapted to the extended
requirements of notation. The presented calculation
procedure is complemented by explanatory examples.
Practically the described procedure of strength
assessment should be realized by means of a suitable
computer program. Presently available are the PC
computer programs "RIFESTPLUS" (applicable for a
calculation using elastically determined local stresses, in
particular with shell-shaped (2D) or block-shaped (3D)
components) and "WELLE" (applicable for a calculation
using nominal stresses as it is appropriate in the
frequently arising case of axles or shafts with gears etc).
The preceding editions of the FKM-Guideline observed
a remarkably great interest from which the need of an up
to date guideline for analytical strength analyses
becomes apparent. Moreover the interest of users was
confirmed by the well attended VDI conferences on
"Computational Strength Analysis of Metallic
Components", that were organized for presentation of
the FKM-Guideline at Fulda in 1995, 1998 and 2002.
The contents-related changes introduced with the third
edition from 1998 were mainly concerned with the
consideration of stainless steel and of forging steel, with
the technological size factor, with the section factor for
assessing the static strength, with the fatigue limit of
grey cast iron and of malleable cast iron, with additional
fatigue classes of welded structural details and with the
local stress analysis for welded components, with the
specification of an estimated damage sum smaller than
one for the assessment of the variable amplitude fatigue
strength, with the assessment of multiaxial stresses, and
with the experimental determination of component
strength values.
An essential formal change in the third edition was a
new textual structure providing four main chapters, that
describe the assessment of the static strength or of the
fatigue strength with either nominal stresses or local
stresses, respectively. For ease of application each of
these chapters gives a complete description of the
particular calculation procedure, although this results in
repetitions of the same or almost the same parts of text in
the corresponding sections.
The major change in the forth edition from 2002 is the
possibility of considering structural components made
from aluminum alloys or cast aluminum alloys by
applying the same calculation procedure that was
developed for components from steel, cast steel and cast
iron materials so far.
The decisions necessary to include aluminum materials
were derived from literature evaluations. It had to be
recognized, however, that some of the relevant factors of
influence were not yet examined with the desirable
clearness or that available results could not be evaluated
objectively due to large scatter. In these cases the
decision was based on a careful consideration of
substantial relations.
Concerning an analytical strength assessment ofcomponents from aluminum alloys or from castaluminum alloys this guideline is delivered to thetechnical community by supposing that for the timebeing it will be applied with appropriate caution andwith particular reference to existing experience so
far.
The involved research institutes and the "Forschungskuratorium Maschinenbau (FKM)" will appreciate any
reports on practical experience as well as any proposalsfor improvement.
Further improvements may also be expected from
ongoing research projects concerning the procedure ofstatic strength assessment using local elastic stresses,
Chapter 3, and the fatigue assessment of extremely sharp
notches.
Last not least the fifth edition of the FKM-Guideline is a
revision of the forth edition with several necessary,
mainly formal amendments being introduced. It is
presented in both a German version and an English
version with the expectation that it might observe similar
attention as the preceding editions on a broadened
international basis of application.

Notes of the translator
This English translation is intended to keep as close as
possible to the original German version, but by using a
common vocabulary and simple sentences. If the given
translation is different from a literal one, the technical
meaning of the sentence and/or of the paragraph ismaintained, however.
The translation observes an almost identical structure ofthe headlines, of the chapters, of the paragraphs and of
the sentences, and even of the numbering of the pages.
Also the tables and the figures as well as their numberingand headlines are adapted as they are, while only the
verbal terms have been translated.
In particular the original German notation of themathematical symbols, indices and formulas, as wellas their numbering, has not been modified in order toinsure identity with the German original in thisrespect.
The applier of this guideline is kindly asked to acceptthe more or less unusual kind of notation which isdue to the need of clearly distinguishing between agreat number of variables.
In particular the applier is pointed to the speciality,that a comma ( , ) is used with numerical valuesinstead of a decimal point ( . ), hence 1,5 equals 1.5for example. .
