TLDR
In this article, a fatigue curve based on strain-fatigue data for use in pressure vessel design is presented. But the focus of this paper is not on the design of a pressure vessel, but on how to evaluate the effects of combined mean and alternating stress.Abstract:
Methods are described for constructing a fatigue curve based on strain- fatigue data for use in pressure vessel design. When this curve is used, the same fatigue strengthreduction factor should be used for low-cycle as for highcycle conditions. When evaluating the effects of combined mean and alternating stress, the fatigue strength-reduction factor should be applied to both the mean and the alternating component, but then account must be taken of the reduction in mean stress which can be produced by yielding. The complete fatigue evaluation of a pressure vessel can be a major task for the designer, but it can be omitted, or at least drastically reduced, if certain requirements can be met regarding design details, inspection, and magnitude of transients. Although the emphasis is on pressure vessel design, the same principles could be applied to any structure made of ductile metal and subjected to limited numbers of load cycles.read more

Weibull and Bootstrap-Based Data-Analytics Framework for Fatigue Life Prognosis of the Pressurized Water Nuclear Reactor Component Under Harsh Reactor Coolant Environment
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a data-analytics framework which uses Weibull and Bootstrap probabilistic modeling techniques for explicitly quantifying the uncertainty/scatter associated with fatigue life rather than estimating the lives based on a best-fit based deterministic approach.

Fatigue strength of non-load-carrying cruciform welded joints by a test maintaining maximum stress at yield strength
TL;DR: In this paper, the fatigue strength of transverse non-load-carrying cruciform welded joints of SM50B steel has been investigated by R = 0 test and σ max = σ y test which simulates the tensile residual stress exists in real welded structures.
