Abstract

A general simulation-based methodology is proposed for efficient and accurate probabilistic fatigue life prediction. The proposed methodology is based on an Equivalent Initial Flaw Size (EIFS) crack growth model and Subset Simulation. The original Subset Simulation algorithm is modified to be suitable for probabilistic figure life prediction, which is an inverse reliability problem. The simulation results are compared with direct Monte Carlo simulation and experimental data for model verification and validation.
