Risk based treatment of degradation and failure in engineering components is an important topic in recent years with an emphasis on obtaining more detailed information for extreme events. Fatigue damage and life degradation caused by variable amplitude cyclic loading is dominated by such extreme events, and can be properly treated with the extreme value theory, which could help understand the damage nature of the fatigue damage process as well as to provide more efficient and robust approaches for engineering applications. In this paper, advanced extreme value theory is reviewed first. Methods such as peak counting, block maxima, and peaks over thresholds are investigated and compared in this paper with an emphasis on the relationship between the extreme value theory and the existing methods for fatigue life assessment. A few simple examples of uniaxial and multi-axial fatigue life assessment process are provided and the results are discussed. It is found that, if properly used, the extreme value theories can improve the efficiency of fatigue life assessment. Finally, a hybrid time- and frequency-based multi-axial fatigue life assessment procedure is proposed for wide band loadings.

A fatigue life assessment method of steel structures was proposed in this study and applied in a metallurgy crane. Analytical method and experimental analysis were adopted to evaluate the static strength of steel structures, and then dynamic stress test was applied to get the stress history in a whole working cycle, which could determine the interest point and stress spectrum. Finally, rainflow method was applied to approach the stress spectrum, and then the fatigue life was predicted based on Miner rules. The results indicated that this method showed a potential application in practical engineering.

Stress invariants approach to the multiaxial fatigue life estimation is generally based on the root mean square value of second invariant of the deviatoric stress amplitude and the value of hydrostatic stress. Such an approach omits a significant part of the information about multiaxial load history. It is particularly noticeable in case of non-proportional loadings, which lead to a reduction of fatigue life (i.e. [1–3]). In this work a new method based on the mean value of modified second invariant of the deviatoric stress has been presented.

In these days, most urban railway vehicles have been serviced under the random load application. However, it is considered to be a major factor of safety to predict the fatigue life for structures. It is thus required that fatigue assessment method for cumulative damage approach while Korea domestic regulations practices only the only has endurance limit approach. With this endurance limit approach, fatigue life prediction is impossible. In this research, the fatigue assessment for urban transit structure by using of cumulative damage approach method and related theories are presented.

A fatigue life assessment application has been implemented using the methodology given in the European Standard EN 12952-3. The assessment application can use data from the Distributed Control System (DCS) of the plant or, to improve accuracy, use component metal temperatures if thermocouples have been fitted across the component of interest. Fatigue assessments have been carried out on typical high temperature components in Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSGs) and a large coal fired boiler which were subject to cyclic operation. The assessments carried out used recorded plant operating DCS and thermocouple data and examined main cyclic events, e.g. shutdown/cold start-up cycle, etc. Detailed finite element analyses have also been conducted on a typical superheater header using as input the plant operating data. Calculated fatigue damage levels for both methods are compared and it is shown that comparable values are obtained. In addition, further assessment has been performed on a component where the period of operation included several shutdown/cold start cycles and many sub-cycles. On completion of the above studies, Mitsui Babcock have implemented the fatigue assessment method into a simple plant life monitoring system.

The fatigue life study of the hatch corner plays very important roles in design of hatch corner. The target function is the gravity of the hatch corner, and the constraint function is fatigue accumulation damage in the present paper. The structure optimal design theory has been combined with the fatigue life assessment method, to assess a hatch corner fatigue life of a large bulk carrier, and to optimize the hatch corner based on meeting the fatigue life. The hatch corner has been optimized under meeting yield strength and buckling strength. The numerical results show that the optimum method is fit to optimize the hatch corner.
