Abstract
Probabilistic assessment of fatigue life in stress-gradient area using a non local fatigue criterion
Cyrille Schwob - 21 May 2007
A fatigue criterion taking into account the stress gradient effect has been developed and integrated in a global probabilistic framework. The proposed criterion is a non local criterion averaging a classical criterion over a particular area. This area is defined by a mesoscopic criterion derived from Papadopoulos analysis. The predictions of the new criterion are compared to experimental results coming from a dedicated test campaign on an aluminium alloy. Results are found to be in good agreement with experiments for a wide variety of geometry and load, thus demonstrating the relative robustness of the fatigue model. The fatigue model is then integrated in a probabilistic framework, the results being again satisfactorily confronted to experimental results on the same alloy. In particular the statistical quality of the probabilized SN curves obtained from the whole model is similar to the experimental one.
