Abstract: The coupling of vibration and fatigue crack growth in a simply supported uniform Euler–Bernoulli beam containing a single-edge crack is analyzed. The fatigue crack length is treated as a generalized coordinate in a model ...

Abstract: A novel fatigue testing rig based on inertial forces is introduced. The test rig has capacity to mimic various loading conditions including high frequency loads. The rig design allows reconfigurations to accommodate a range ...
