One major source of error commonly encountered in determining the fatigue life of a given element arises from the loads involved, which are usually of random nature. As a rule, resistance analyses, carried out by simulation or tests, are done by using a loading history accounting for the real loads

โฆ Synopsis
The effect of the near-term correlation between individual cycles in a ~dndom loading signal on the fatigue life of a low-carbon steel has been investigated. By the manipuIation of cycles in one random signal, a second signal was generated in which onty the sequence of cycles was changed. Tests were carried out on shallow-notched cantilever specimens. The results showed that the change in the sequence of cycles had no effect on the overall fatigue lives in the range of 103-10' cycles. The sinusoidal fatigue limit, from 311 HI. constant amplitude tests, was at a stress of2 IS MNhn" (13.9 tons/in?).

## Abstract Residual stresses due to the welding process in steel structures can significantly affect the fatigue behaviour. Usually, high tensile residual stresses up to the yield strength are conservatively assumed at the weld toes. This conservative assumption can result in misleading fatigue as
A study of the effect of load ratio, R, on the low crack growth rates and the threshold stress conditions exhibited by five medium carbon steels has been conducted. It was found that decreased values of R retarded crack growth to an increasing degree as a defined threshold for crack growth was appro
In this study wear behaviour of 0.1% C containing dual phase steels with three different microstructures have been examined. Intercritical annealing, step quenching and intermediate quenching heat treatments have been applied to the alloy in order to obtain different morphologies of ferrite and mart
