Damage Rule

Cumulative fatigue damage is an important consideration in determining the fatigue life of structures. A cumulative linear damage rule cannot provide a reasonable explanation for cumulative fatigue damage, but a damage curve method based on nonlinear cumulative fatigue damage model can give a reasonable explanation. In this paper, a specific mathematical model is put forward, which is based on the damage curve method. In the model, miner formula is modified properly and an exponent formula is give out to fit the damage accumulate. According to a two-step fatigue test of aluminum–alloy welded joint, the comparison between the calculated results and the testing results is less than 5%. It shows that the model is reasonable and accuracy.

Cumulative Fatigue Damage

The problem of cumulative fatigue damage in composites is analyzed based upon the development of a phenomenological damage model. In this modeling, a damage function is defined based on the degradation of the residual stiffness and used to predict the remaining life of composite specimens subjected to dual stress level fatigue loading. Available experimental data for graphite/epoxy composites are compared with the predictions of the present model.

Cumulative Fatigue Damage

The failure of many aircraft structures and materials is caused by the accumulation of fatigue damage under variable-amplitude cyclic loading wherein the damage evolution of materials is complicated. Therefore, to study the cumulative fatigue damage of materials under variable-amplitude cyclic loading, a new nonlinear fatigue damage accumulation model is proposed based on the ecological quality dissipation of materials by considering the effects of load interaction and sequence. The proposed new model is validated by the test data obtained for three kinds of material under multilevel fatigue loading. Compared with the Miner model and Kwofie model, the proposed model can more effectively analyse the accumulative damage and predict fatigue life of different materials under variable-amplitude cyclic loading than others. The study provides a basis for predicting fatigue life accurately and determining reasonable maintenance periods of aircraft structures.
