Abstract

This chapter mainly studies how to obtain accurate and reliable calculation results of fatigue life after obtaining the non-Gaussian random stress response. First, the influence of sampling frequency on the calculation accuracy of fatigue damage is studied, and a stress signal reconstruction method based on Shannon's formula is proposed. Then, based on the rain-flow counting method, the calculation methods of the fatigue life of the structure under the action of narrowband and wideband non-Gaussian random stress are respectively proposed. Finally, the applicability and accuracy of the calculation method of non-Gaussian fatigue life are verified through specific example analysis.
