Fatigue Lifetime Estimation Based on Rainflow Counted Data Using the Local Strain Approach (1995)
- In the automotive industry both the loca l strain approach and rainflow counting are well known and approved tools in the numerical estimation of the lifetime of a new developed part especially in the automotive industry. This paper is devoted to the combination of both tools and a new algorithm is given that takes advantage of the inner structure of the most used damage parameters.
