Abstract
This paper presents computationally efficient frequency domain
methods for estimating the high-cycle fatigue life of
metallic structures subjected to a random multiaxial loading.
The equivalent von Mises stress method proposed earlier by
the senior author is first reviewed. It is then shown how a nonzero
mean stress can be accounted for by using the hydrostatic
pressure in connection with the Goodman diagram. The consistency
of the results are checked by comparison with a time
domain method based on the critical plane. It is observed that
frequency domain methods produce enormous computer savings
and correlate fairly well with the time domain method in
terms of localizing the critical areas in the structure. A frequency
domain implementation of Crossland's failure criterion
is also proposed; it is found in very good agreement and much
faster than its time domain counterpart.
