Evaluation of Concrete Fatigue Measurement Using Standard and Non-Linear Regression Model

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper deals with the problem of estimating the S-N curve for the cement based composites under fatigue loading. Selected approximation curves for mechanical-fracture parameter values derived from specific fracture energy in time are used to determine the most accurate fatigue parameter values corresponding to the age of specimens when dynamic tests were performed. For standard description of S-N curve the power dependence and Weibull model developed by Castillo et al. are used to discuss the problem under study and the suitability of using models as an input data for finite element modeling
