This article focuses on the time-variant reliability assessment of riveted lap joint structure subjected to fatigue. A physics-based fatigue crack growth model that can take the crack closure into account is derived to calculate the crack length at different time under arbitrary loading. In addition, several uncertainties are quantified, including the material, initial crack size, and loading condition. The stationary random loading is a common service environment in practice, in which the stress range and stress ratio vary with constant statistical characteristics (the mean and standard deviation). The time-variant fatigue reliability of riveted lap joint under stationary random loading is assessed by introducing the outcrossing concept. The experimental data of 2024-T3 aluminum alloy riveted lap joint under constant amplitude loading are used to validate the physics-based fatigue crack growth model. It is verified that this proposed model can predict the fatigue life probability distribution with a reasonable accuracy. In addition, the simulation of riveted lap joint under stationary random loading is performed. The time-variant fatigue reliability is evaluated. The results with or without considering crack closures are also compared. It is noted that the results from the time-variant fatigue reliability assessment considering crack closure has higher reliability level.

A fatigue crack growth model is developed to evaluate the behavior of planar elliptic flaws in structural components under cyclic loadings. The model is applied to plates with cyclic tensile load and nuclear piping under cyclic pressure loading. It is found that small flaws in plates tend to grow to a fixed aspect ratio, b/a≃0.9 (b is the through thickness direction). The trend checks well with available experimental data. For an axial part-through flaw in piping there is no fixed aspect ratio for growth. However, the flaws in piping are found to grow to a definite axial length. An evaluation is made of the applicability of the model to nuclear primary piping.

A two-parameter fatigue crack growth algorithm in integral form is proposed, which can describe the continuous crack growth process over the time period. In this model, the fatigue crack propagation behavior is governed by the temporal crack-tip state including the current applied load and the physical condition due to the previous load sequence. The plasticity-induced crack closure, left by the historical loading sequence, controls the following fatigue crack growth behavior and typically leads to the interaction effects. In the proposed method, a modified crack closure model deriving from the local plastic deformation is employed to account for this load memory effect. In general, this model can simulate the fatigue crack growth under variable amplitude loading. Additionally, this model is established on the physical state of crack tip in the small spatial and temporal scale, and it is used to evaluate the macroscopic crack propagation and fatigue life under irregular tension-tension loading. A special superimposed loading case is discussed to demonstrate the advantage of the proposed model, while the traditional two-parameter approach is not proper functional. Moreover, the typical various load spectra are also employed to validate the method. Good agreements are observed.
