| Research Abstract |
1. Stochastic models dealing with cumulative fatigue damage process can be categorized into the following six models : (1) random variable model, (2) Markov chain model, (3) Stochastic differential equation model, (4) locally averaged model, (5) renewal process model, and (6) Markov approximation model with the notion of the death point derived by the present study.
Among these models, the last one currently concerned with appears to be the most promising and useful with wide practical applicability.
2. By use of the model, theoretical distributions of crack length and residual life have been derived by taking into considerations a variety of uncertain factors associated with fatigue crack growth process.
3. The derived distributions have been applied to solve various practical problems where safety and reliability play a major role, and their propriety has been exemplified based upon parameter sensitivity studies.
4. Distribution parameters in the models can be classified into two categories : (1) physical parameter appearing in the crack propagation law itself and (2) statistical parameter associated with the randomness in applied loads and material properties. It is clarified that the latter can be estimated even by use of fairly small amount of non-statistical experimental data.
