Fatigue Damage in Metals: Numerical Methods-Based Approaches

Fatigue Damage in Metals: Numerical Methods-Based Approaches provides readers with detailed and easy-to-implement simulation and modelling techniques for predicting, analysing, and ultimately mitigating the effects of fatigue damage in metallic materials. The book includes 11 chapters covering techniques for analysing variable load spectra, modelling and predicting the cyclic behaviour of materials, as well as fatigue damage operators, criteria, and methods specific to different case studies. The book addresses variable amplitude loadings, yield surfaces-based models for cyclic plasticity simulation, fatigue crack imitation based on CDM approaches, S-N curve estimation, and more. New criteria and numerical techniques for analysing the fatigue crack initiation are included, as are raw data, algorithms, and codes that can be put into immediate use.
