Abstract:This paper presents a new method to estimate the remaining fatigue lives of riveted connections of railway bridges. The proposed method mainly consists of secondary stress histories, recently developed sequential law and fully known Wohler curve. It is essential to use the fully known Wohler curve. Therefore the technique, which utilizes the transfer of the partially known code given Wohler curve to a fully known curve, is also discussed. Initially the details of new damage indicator based sequential law and i… Show more
