Fatigue crack growth is uncertain, either for cracking rate or direction. The stochastic models
proposed in the literature suffer from limited applicability or lack of physical meaning. In this …

Predicting the probability distribution of fatigue crack growth (FCG) life is very important for
probabilistic damage tolerance analysis and structural integrity assessment. This paper …

This study presents the use of a crack propagation model under constant amplitude loading,
proposed by Forman, admitting the existence of uncertainty in the definition parameters of …

Crack propagation in metals has long been recognized as a stochastic process. As a
consequence, crack propagation rates have been modeled as random variables or as …

The probabilistic method presented in this paper facilitates a simplified description of fatigue
crack growth under variable amplitude loading and the estimation of fatigue life …

The presented paper is the follow-up to the study, where the method for assessment of the
fatigue life of a structural component was outlined with consideration of the variable …

This paper studies the stochastic behavior of fatigue crack growth analytically and
empirically by employing basic models in fracture mechanics. The research estimates the …

This paper proposes an analytical–empirical framework for stochastic assessment of fatigue
crack growth. The study offers solutions for drastic problems in studying fatigue field …

In this paper, we present a methodology to pursue the uncertainty quantification of the
stochastic process that represents the crack growth problem. The main idea of this …

This paper proposes a novel analysis method of stochastic crack trajectory based on a
dimension reduction approach. The developed method allows efficiently estimating the …
