Abstract

Crack growth simulations and residual life predictions often only take constant amplitude loads into account as described in Chap. 4. During its operating period however, a component is exposed to service loads comprising various load changes such as overloads and underloads, block loads or changes in load direction. These do not generally occur regularly, but are occasional effects ensuing from the overall usage scenario. Such service loads lead to interaction effects that can extend or reduce residual life.
