Research on a Structural Fatigue Life Prediction Method Based on Non-Equal Interval Stress Spectra and an Improved Corten–Dolan Damage Model
摘要
To address the lack of a clear classification basis for compiling stress spectra and the lack of a reasonable definition of the parameters of the traditional Corten-Dolan damage model in the current process of predicting structural fatigue life, a life prediction method based on non-equal-interval stress spectra and an improved Corten–Dolan damage model is investigated. By utilizing cluster analysis and support vector machine (SVM) theory, considering the characteristics of the stress cycle itself for spectral compilation, and comprehensively considering the load interaction and strength degradation effect, a systematic structural fatigue life prediction method is formed. Comparison of the obtained non-equal-interval stress spectra damage and improved Corten–Dolan model lifetimes with those obtained via other spectral methods and those obtained via other damage models. The analytical results confirm that the non-equal interval stress spectra and the improved Corten–Dolan damage model exhibit high accuracy.
