Fatigue degradation analysis of elliptical corner damage

Abstract

Modern trends in failure prevention of large moving systems require understanding of surface flaw phenomena caused by complex loads. Thus, through this research work, a novel computational framework is designed to assess real-time dynamic responses of surface stress raisers. Analytical outcomes generated through the stress intensity analysis and fatigue life evaluations have clearly confirmed the application of the developed design framework as a sustainable strategy for achieving reliable bearing capacity of dynamically loaded systems.
