Fatigue life prediction method for the practical engineering use taking in account the effect of the overload blocks

It is generally known that during the service life high load cycles occur in addition to the operational loads. Development of an accurate fatigue life prediction rule taking in account overloads around the yield strength and slightly above, with a minimal level of effort for the practical engineering use at design stress level is still highly significant. In the present paper a fatigue life prediction method based on an S/N curve for constant...
