STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Endurance Limit: 52.0593 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 52059300 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Endurance Limit of Rotating Beam Specimen: 220 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 220000000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Surface Finish Factor: 0.92 --> No Conversion Required
Size Factor: 0.85 --> No Conversion Required
Reliabilty Factor: 0.89 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

K_d = S_e/(S'_e*K_a*K_b*K_c) --> 52059300/(220000000*0.92*0.85*0.89)

Evaluating ... ...

K_d = 0.339999973875947

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.339999973875947 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.339999973875947 ≈ 0.34 <-- Modifying Factor for Stress Concentration
