Fatigue- a complex subject - some simple approximations

A method is described which uses changes of apparent dynamic modulus and damping during fatigue cycling, for estimating accurately the fatigue lives of stainless steel (Rex 535) specimens This technique for estimating well in advance of failure the fatigue lives of individual specimens avoids the usual difficulties caused by scatter of fatigue results, and has enabled a more precise quantitative investigation to be made of cumulative fatigue damage (ie damage due to multi-level loading) than would have been possible using conventional experimental methods By estimating the remaining life of a specimen at one stress amplitude before measuring the equivalent remaining life at a second stress amplitude by cycling to failure, it was possible to determine lines of equal damage on a plot of stress amplitude versus remaining fatigue life These lines of equal damage were used to predict the fatigue lives of specimens subjected to programmes of multi-level loading, and the accuracy of these estimates, when co

Cumulative Damage in Fatigue: A Step towards Its Understanding:

A new era of power electronics was created with the invention of the thyristor in 1957. Since then, the evolution of modern power electronics has witnessed its full potential and is quickly expanding in the applications of generation, transmission, distribution, and end-user consumption of electrical power. The performance of power electronic systems, especially in terms of efficiency and power density, has been continuously improved by the intensive research and advancements in circuit topologies, control schemes, semiconductors, passive components, digital signal processors, and system integration technologies.
