Mechanical Vibration and Shock Analysis, Second Edition
Volume 4: Fatigue Damage
Fatigue damage in a system with one degree of freedom is one ofthe two criteria applied when comparing the severity of vibratoryenvironments. The same criterion is also employed for aspecification representing the effects produced by the set ofvibrations imposed in a real-world environment. In this volume,which is devoted to the calculation of fatigue damage, the authorexplores the various hypotheses and models used to describe thebehavior of material suffering fatigue and the laws of fatigueaccumulation. He also considers the methods of counting responsepeaks, which are used to establish a histogram when it isimpossible to use the probability density of the peaks obtainedwith a Gaussian signal. The expressions for mean damage and itsstandard deviation are established and other hypotheses aretested.
The Mechanical Vibration and Shock Analysis five-volumeseries has been written with both the professional engineer and theacademic in mind. Christian Lalanne explores every aspect ofvibration and shock, two fundamental and extremely significantareas of mechanical engineering, from both a theoretical andpractical point of view. The five volumes cover all the necessaryissues in this area of mechanical engineering. The theoreticalanalyses are placed in the context of both the real world and thelaboratory, which is essential for the development ofspecifications.
