A REVIEW OF THE EVALUATION METHODS OF FATIGUE FRACTURE RELIABILITY OF STRVCTURAL ELEMENTS

A detailed review of the evaluation methods of fracture reliability of structural elements under cyclic loading has been made, and based on it, some discussions have been done. All the models for the fracture reliability evaluation are classified into three types according to the status equations, that is, crack length model, fatigue life model and fracture strength model. Every model can find its own position in the engineering application, and with some limits. Some discussions on the further development...
