On Fatigue Life Under Stationary Gaussian Random Loads

Power spectra are taken to represent stationary Gaussian random loads. Location, scale, and shape parameters are defined for power spectra and proposed as a convenient set of load parameters for random loads. The center frequency of a power spectrum, defined as its weighted average frequency, is proposed as a measure of fatigue life. A servohydraulic closed loop testing machine is used to load specimens of carbon steel under six different power spectral shapes. Test results are utilized to evaluate a fatigue life function formulated in terms of the load parameters. The concept of a shape operator introduced by Weibull for probability distributions, is employed to correlate fatigue lives under different power spectral shapes. Good correlations in the test results are obtained
