On the applicability of Miner’s rule for multiaxial fatigue life calculations under non-proportional load histories [PDF]
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2017 Fatigue design routines and computer codes must use some damage accumulation rule to deal with variable amplitude loadings (VAL), usually Palmgren-Miner (or Miner’s) linear rule for lack of a clearly better option.

Prediction of Fatigue Crack Initiation under Variable Amplitude Loading: Literature Review
Metals, 2023 Metallic materials are widely employed in engineering constructions, and one of the most common failure mechanisms in metals is fatigue failure. Even though metal fatigue has been studied for almost 160 years, many problems remain unsolved.

The Strain energy density to estimate lifetime of notched components subjected to variable amplitude fatigue loading [PDF]
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2019 In the present paper, the approach based on the strain energy density (SED) averaged over a structural volume is reformulated to estimate the lifetime of notched components subjected to variable amplitude (VA) uniaxial fatigue loading.

Influence of the transient material behaviour in the fatigue life estimation under random loading
, 2022 485492The estimation of the fatigue life under variable amplitude loading is a fundamental step in the design phase. To consider variable amplitudes in the fatigue design the linear damage accumulation is applied, thus disregarding non linearity.

Comparative study of multiaxial fatigue methods applied to welded joints in marine structures [PDF]
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2016 Marine structures are particularly prone to action of waves, winds and currents with stochastically varying composition, intensities and directions. Therefore, resultant stresses may cause multiaxial fatigue in specific welded structural details.

PE-HD fatigue damage accumulation under variable loading based on various damage models
eXPRESS Polymer Letters, 2017 Despite numerous studies on fatigue of polymer materials under variable loading, there is little work on highdensity polyethylene (PE-HD). In this context, an experimental analysis for determining the fatigue strength of PE-100, under constant and ...

A statistically self-consistent fatigue damage accumulation model including load sequence effects under spectrum loading [PDF]
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2016 A probabilistic methodology is proposed to evaluate fatigue damage accumulation and fatigue lives of specimens under variable amplitude loading. With probabilistic modifications in the present model, the calculative consistency is achieved between ...

Shortcuts in multiple dimensions: the multiaxial racetrack filter [PDF]
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2015 Filtering techniques have been proposed for multiaxial load histories, usually aiming to filter out non-reversals, i.e. sampling points that do not constitute a reversal in any of its stress or strain components. However, the path between two reversals

Why variable amplitude loading? A key for lightweight-structural durability design
, 2022 7380The technical importance of variable amplitude (spectrum) loading is not only given by obtaining much longer fatigue lives compared with those determined under constant amplitude loading with the maximum value of the spectrum.
