Product Reliability and Random Fatigue

IEEE Transactions on Reliability, 1971
The fatigue life of a mechanical component in a conventional ional test situation depends upon the stress amplitude. A change in the stress amplitude during a laboratory test-program involves a consideration of the damage produced by each stress cycle imposed upon the test specimen.

Advanced fatigue reliability analysis

International Journal of Fatigue, 1991
Abstract Factors in fatigue life prediction models can be treated as random variables reflecting inherent uncertainties in material behaviour and loading. Given the probability distribution of these factors, U , the distribution of life, N , is derived when a reliability analysis is performed.

FATIGUE RELIABILITY FORMULATION AND ANALYSIS

CYCLES is a computer program that computes the fatigue reliability of mechanical components. It includes a rather flexible model of uncertainty, both in distribution parameters of randomly varying quantities (e.g., load environment parameters such as wave height) and in uncertain material properties (e.g .. S-N fatigue properties).

Microstructure and the Fatigue Reliability of Metals

1991
This paper reviews the influence that the microstructure of a metal has on the scatter that always exists in data pertaining to fatigue crack initiation and propagation. Concerning the fatigue crack initiation stage of the entire fatigue deterioration process, the descriptions from sub-microscopic sizes to those that can be associated with the ...

A Design Approach to Fatigue Reliability

1990
It is usually vital to investigate the implications of fatigue failure during the design of mechanical components. Conventional methods used for analysis during the design of mechanical components are based on the use of Miner’s rule for the estimation of cumulative fatigue damage.

Fatigue Reliability of Marine Structures

1993
Fatigue reliability of marine structures is an important design consideration both for ship structures, fixed and floating offshore platforms for oil and gas exploration and exploitation. The importance of performing a fatigue resistant design is increased by use of lighter materials and materials with higher static strength and the emergence of ...

Fatigue Reliability for Offshore Structures

Journal of Structural Engineering, 1984
The results of a four‐year project, sponsored by the American Petroleum Institute, to investigate the fatigue design process in the welded joints of steel offshore structures are summarized. Fatigue damage expressions were formulated. A simple analytical expression for damage based on the rainflow method of cycle counting in a wide band process was ...

Fatigue Reliability of Ferrocement Slabs

ACI Structural Journal, 1991
A simple probabilistic approach to fatigue-strength studies for ferrocement slabs is presented, supplemented by the relevant statistics obtained from a preliminary experimental program. Unlike conventional fatigue-strength studies where the specimens are cyclically loaded to a failure, the approach employed here involves obtaining the residual strength

A Reliability Approach to the Fatigue of Structures

1972
In recent years, due to the progressive development of higher performance aircraft, the fatigue strength of aircraft structures has become an increasingly important problem. In the present paper, a method of assessing structural safety in fatigue is proposed in which a statistical model for the fatigue process is used to carry out a ...
