ABSTRACT A mean stress equation can be incorporated into the strain–life curve in a
manner that is consistent with the stress‐based use of the same equation. Doing so for the …

The aerospace industry is widely employing strain-life methodologies for structural fatigue
predictions. Under spectrum loading, overloads significantly affect the fatigue, therefore it is …

Mean stresses in fatigue life calculations for critical structural components are a source of
great uncertainty in any engineering design. Correction of life predictions in strain or stress …

Ultra-high cycle fatigue (gigacycle) tests have shown that a true fatigue endurance limit does
not exist for most metallic materials used in high cycle applications. These findings have …

This paper describes the application of effective source in forward calculations and the
adjoint method to the solution of fast neutron fluence and activation detector activities in the …
