“…Loading spectrum form is characterized by the diagram filling factor calculated from the formula as follows [7]: (1) which, in relation to the schematic spectrum diagram, is equivalent to the ratio of the areas F 1 (under the block spectrum envelope) to the area of the rectangle having the sides: S amax and n c . As results from the scheme (b) in Fig.…”

“…This result is from a lack of the low-range data needed to adjust the shape of the curve during the models conception. To improve the model, Manson and Halford (1986) included a linear term to shift the curves away from the x-axis. The difficulty would be to allow this new term to have a significant influence at low life ratios but negligible effect at higher ratios.…”

Predicting Remaining Useful Lifetime (RUL) of industrial systems becomes currently an important aim for industrialists knowing that the expensive failure can occur suddenly. As the classical strategies of maintenance are not efficient and practical because they neglect the evolving product state and environment, the recent prognostic approaches try to fill this gap. This approach shows to be important in ensuring high availability in minimum costs for industrial systems, like in aerospace, defense, petro-chemistry and automobiles. An analytic prognostic methodology based on existing damage laws in fracture mechanics, such as Paris' and Miner's laws, is recently developed for determining the system RUL. Damages have been assumed to be accumulated linearly, since we have considered the widely used linear Miner's law. In this study, the nonlinear case in damage accumulation is explored to take into account the complex behavior of some materials subject to fatigue effects. It is useful especially when the nature of applied constraints and influent environment contribute to accentuate this nonlinearity. Our damage model is based on the accumulation of a damage measurement D(N) after each loading cycle N. In automobile industry, the prognostic assessment of the suspension component by this developed nonlinear approach shows its importance for the same earlier reasons.

“…Grover (1960) divided the damage growth into two such phases, and then proposed post facto (after examining multi-level load data) damage formulae. The idea of two such phases was adopted and adapted by Manson et al (1967) and Manson & Halford (1981, 1986 into the well-known double linear damage rule (DLDR). The DLDR has been viewed as a credible alternative to Miner's rule.…”

Much modern engineering design work uses S -N curves and empirical applications thereof. In industry, currently popular methods for predicting fatigue life under complex loading use ad hoc cycle counting algorithms along with Miner's rule, in spite of its known weaknesses. Many ad hoc alternatives to Miner's rule have been proposed, each with limited experimental justification. Of these, Manson's double linear damage rule (DLDR) is widely considered to be good. In this paper, we bring a new perspective to empirical, as opposed to mechanistic, fatigue damage evolution models. It is first assumed, with reasonable justification, that there is a scalar, abstract, damage variable f, whose evolution under cyclic loading satisfies _ fZ af m , where a and m are unknown functions of load parameters. One main contribution of the paper lies in deducing what the functions a and m must be in order to obtain consistency with fatigue data in handbooks. A small correction to this basic power law model is then developed. The final explicit model initially has 10 unknown fitted parameters, but these are brought down to three unknowns; the accompanying discussion is the other main contribution of the paper. Finally, comparison with Manson's and other data suggests that, with two fitted parameters, our model works as well as the DLDR and much better than Miner's rule. For other parameter choices, our model reduces to Miner's rule. We conclude with speculation about ways in which the model might be extended beyond the scope of the DLDR.
