The Use of a Power Law Function for Fatigue Life Estimation for Block Loads

Article Preview

Abstract:

A new damage accumulation model based on a power law for fatigue life estimation is presented. The model has been created on the basis of functions of memory taken from psychology. The model derivation is presented as well as its basic properties. It takes into account the loading sequence. The experimental verification of the model is performed for experimental results taken from the literature for four material groups tested with block loading programs. The obtained calculation results are compared with results obtained with the use of Palmgren-Miner model. The model can be used for the determination of fatigue life, especially for block load fatigue tests.
