A series of illustrative examples are presented to aid in understanding the generality of the model as it applies to cumulative damage. Results from the model are used to describe and analyze some fatigue and wear life test data. Comments are made on the uses of the model. A discussion is presented on the shortcomings of current methods of life testing when prediction is involved.

Two-stage loading tests corresponding to high-low loading and low-high loading were performed to clarify the cumulative damage properties of two kinds of aluminum alloy welded joints such as the corner joint and butt joint. As a result, the logarithmic value of cumulative damage can better be characterized by the normal distribution in accordance with the Komogorov-Smirnov goodness of fit test. The proposed linear cumulative damage model can better reflect the scatter characteristic of test data, as well as the newly developed nonlinear cumulative damage model can better characterize the effects of load sequence and load level on fatigue damage value, which was verified with the obtained test data.

As for the slope with fault fracture zone, the fault fracture zone is the main sliding surface, whose shear strength parameter is the main calculation parameter of landslide occurrence. In this paper, shaking table model tests and damage theory were used to study the change of shear strength and mechanical cumulative damage model of fault fracture zone under the blasting vibration cyclic load. At first, the slope of Daye Iron Mine is selected as a case to study the shear strength weakening law of fault fracture zone by the similarity theory and the principle of the orthogonal test, in which the influence of the characteristics of vibration loading on the shear strength parameters of fault fracture zone with different thicknesses was studied. Secondly, by the assumption of Lemaitre strain equivalence and according to the extreme value characteristics of the normal stress-shear stress curve, the damage theory model of the fault fracture zone was reconstructed, and the microelement of fault was selected for analysis and divided into two parts, including damaged and undamaged materials. Finally, the results of the shaking table model tests were compared with the results of the shear cumulative damage model to verify the rationality of the theoretical model. Moreover, the predicted results of the theoretical model can better reflect the degradation trend of the fault fracture zone with the loading amplitude, normal stress, and loading times. It can be used as a reference for slope stability prediction under the action of cumulative static and dynamic loads.

The cumulative damage of the reinforced concrete (RC) crane girders occurred by overload, fatigue and other reasons in service may deteriorate the safety of RC crane girders seriously, so it is necessary to analyze the damage mechanism and rationally reinforce them in good time. In this paper, RC crane girder strengthened with CFRP strips is taken as a target, and the mechanical performance degradation under fatigue load is studied. According to the basic theory of continuum damage mechanics, a damage variable is defined by flexural rigidity, and fatigue- cumulative damage model, which describes the process of damage and fracture, is established. The variation law of cumulative damage of RC crane girders strengthened with FRP strips under crane load is discussed, and the failure patterns such as concrete cracking, debonding between CFRP strips and concrete, yield of steel bars etc., are studied. The criterion which can be used to estimate the cumulative damage degree of strengthened RC crane girders is proposed. Finally, the evolution of the fatigue damage in the RC crane girders strengthened with CFRP strips is numerically simulated, and the results show that the proposed model can correctly describe the damage and failure process of strengthened RC crane girders. The research will provide a reference for the damage analysis and reinforcement of RC crane girders strengthened with CFRP strips.
