Adaptive Neural Network Modelling in Fatigue life Prediction under Load History effects

Article Preview

Abstract:

Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques and in particular, adaptive neural networks (ANN) have been commonly used in order to Fatigue life prediction. The aim of this paper is to consider a new crack propagation principle based on simulating experimental tests on three point-bend (TPB) specimens, which allow predicting the fatigue life and fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR). An important part of this paper is estimation of FCG rate related to different load histories. The effects of different load histories on the crack growth life are obtained in different representative simulation and experiments.
