A stochastic model describing fatigue crack growth under random overload peaks is presented. A Poisson flow of overloads superimposed on a base-line constant-amplitude cyclic load is considered. Under the above assumptions the total retardation time is presented as a stochastic process governed by t

โฆ Synopsis
A stochastic approach to fatigue crack growth under random overload sequences, superimposed on a base-line cyclic load, is described. The approach consists in presentation of the delay time due to the retardation effect associated with the overload peaks as a purely discontinuous Markov process. A numerical procedure based on the KolmogarovPFeller integrodifferential equation is developed. Application of the model is illustrated by examples.

Abstract4onstant amplitude and spectrum loading fatigue crack growth rate tests were performed on HP-9Ni4X+3OC steel heat treated to three strength levels. It was concluded that the constant nmplltude crack growth rate is dependent on the stxenath level of the material and independent of the toughne
