A Theory for Mathematical Framework of Fatigue Damage on S-N Plane

Article Preview

Abstract:

A theory for mathematical framework is developed with axioms for fatigue damage, quantification and relativity concept, boundary conditions, and compatibility, allowing us to evaluate the validity of candidate damage equations/quantities on S-N plane for prediction of fatigue life. Manifestation points for accumulated damage were defined for boundary conditions by differentiating between damage accumulated before failure, and failure caused by damage at quantised fatigue loading cycles. A selected damage equation leading to a theoretical S-N curve was validated as an example.
