Prediction of Retarded Fatigue Life due to a Single Overload Spike Using an Exponential Model

Article Preview

Abstract:

Fatigue is the most common failure mechanisms in structures of construction machinery with inherent defects under variable amplitude loading, which have to endure for a long term cycle loadings in the actual service. In the present investigation an exponential model is proposed for fatigue life prediction with retardation caused by a single spike under constant amplitude loading. Comparisons between the predicted life and the experimental data are provided to demonstrate the utility and robustness of the proposed model.
