Abstract: A stochastic model for the fatigue of metals under repeated stress or strain is proposed. Fatigue lives up to crack initiation are investigated with the aid of a recent theory on a cumulative ...

Abstract: The fatigue crack propagation rate is investigated on the basis of a dislocation multiplication model which was used previously in evaluation of the fatigue life up to crack initiation. The ...

Abstract: The stochastic models for the fatigue damage phenomena are proposed. They describe the uncertainty caused by inhomogeneity of materials for fatigue crack propagation of metals and fatigue damage ...
