Abstract: | When a component is subjected to variable-amplitude loading, if the fundamental stress–life cycle relationship and an accumulation rule are given, then the fatigue damage or fatigue life of the component can be calculated and/or estimated. In the present paper, random vibration theory is incorporated into the analysis of the above problem. Several formulas are thus derived. Experimental work is then carried out to verify the derived formulas. Comparison is made among the results calculated based on different formulas, different accumulation rules and different random loading. It is concluded that the derived formulas do provide us with quick prediction of the fatigue damage or fatigue life when a component is subjected to variable-amplitude loading that has a certain random nature. |
