Overview

The book gives a unified probabilistic approach to evaluation of fatigue damage, including all steps to be followed, starting with fatigue testing planning, material characterization through lab experiments, model selection, parameter estimation and damage evaluation and life prediction associated with a given stress or strain history. It also treats computer programs to do all the above. In addition, a critical evaluation of existing models based on the new proposed alternative model is one of the main aims of the book, trying to change the minds of engineers involved in design jobs.

<p>From the reviews: <p> This book provides a unified methodology to derive models for fatigue life. The book gives a new methodology to build-up fatigue models based on a practical knowledge of fatigue problems, combined with common sense, functional equations and statistical methods. Appendix presents a short description of classical and more recent fatigue models existing in the literature. The proposed models allow simple approaches to be implemented in a practical fatigue design, similar to those employed in current engineering standards.
