Statistical evaluation of fatigue curve of vibration-loaded structures.

The paper deals with the description of statistical evaluation of fatigue of vibration-loaded structures. Fatigue tests are performed in laboratories on so-called vibrating tables, the results are then analysed using the construction of fatigue curves. The analysis includes several statistical methods. The paper describes some of these methods, clarifies the evaluation process and shows the results of the analysis on real data. The analysis of fatigue curves is performed using a constantly evolving tool for fatigue analysis, which arises as a result of unification and improvement of the fatigue curves evaluation level in the Regional Institute of Technology of the University of West Bohemia.
