Abstract: This paper presents an efficient methodology to solve a fatigue reliability problem. The fatigue failure mechanism and its reliability assessment must be treated as a rate process since, in ...

Abstract: This paper introduces a maintenance decision-making strategy in the general area of replacement and reliability of mechanical components. The decision-making strategy involves the optimization of ...

Abstract: A new reliability technique for strain-based fatigue life design is developed in this paper. An empirical mean stress modified strain-life equation is used as performance function, in which: ...

Abstract: In this paper, the modified formulae have been provided. They can be used to calculate the stress in layers with gaps of a layered cylinder. In order to obtain the modified formulae, a ...
