Purpose Engineering components/structures with geometric discontinuities normally bear
complex and variable loads, which lead to a multiaxial and random/variable amplitude …

The Smith-Watson-Topper parameter (SWT) in its original form was designed to estimate the
fatigue life of metal materials in a uniaxial load state (tension–compression) in the range up …

The paper presents a method for determination of multiaxial load segments from original
service histories, where the loaded machine part is meaningfully subjected to fatigue …

The present paper summarises the main features of a design technique we have devised to
specifically perform, by post-processing the linear-stress fields in the vicinity of the assumed …

Present multiaxial fatigue models have achieved satisfactory performance in predicting
multiaxial fatigue life of different loading paths; however, many of them require critical plane …

The low-cycle, strain-controlled fatigue tests have been conducted on CuZn37 brass (ASTM:
C27200, EN: CW508L). Machined specimens have been subjected to uniaxial, proportional …

A novel energy-based multiaxial fatigue criterion was proposed considering the effect of
normal strain energy and shear strain energy. The difference of contributions of both the …

Spectral methods use analytical expressions to estimate the fatigue damage in vibrating
structures subjected to uniaxial or multiaxial random stresses. They exploit the random …

Develo** accurate design data to enable the effective use of new materials is undoubtedly
an essential goal in the gear industry. To speed up this process, Single Tooth Bending …

This paper proposes a model for estimating fatigue life under multiaxial stress states, based
on critical plane concepts, taking into account the effect of mean shear stress. The fatigue life …
