Abstract According to Miner's rule, the fatigue life of a material (or a mechanical component) is not a function of the order of the application of load. Many authors have already observed that the model proposed by Palmgren/Miner leads to underestimation of the damage and one of the reasons could be the disregard of the sequence of loads. Referring to the energy loss related to irreversible damage of the material, it was observed that the Miner's rule gives exact results only if the damage caused by the fatiguing load is low compared to the limit energy of the material. Whereas, if… More >
