(2008-04-14)Department: Civil EngineeringAnalytical and experimental approaches to determine mixed-mode fatigue crack growth threshold and growth rates are not well established and remain an active research topic. This dissertation compared the existing methods ...
-
(2012-10-05)Department: Civil EngineeringThe modeling and risk management of fatigue crack growth is a problem of critical importance in any mechanical system. The work presented in this study demonstrates two efficient methods for the modeling of non-planar ...
-
(2006-03-21)Department: Civil EngineeringThis study proposes a general methodology for mechanical/structural fatigue reliability analysis under multiaxial loading. A new characteristic plane approach is proposed to predict the fatigue crack initiation and propagation ...
