Abstract:The main aim of this paper is to present more accurate stochastic fatigue models for solving the fatigue reliability problems, which are attractively simple and easy to apply in practice for situations where it is difficult to quantify the costs associated with inspections and undetected cracks. From an engineering standpoint the fatigue life of a structure consists of two periods: (i) crack initiation period, which starts with the first load cycle and ends when a technically detectable crack is presented, and… Show more
