Abstract
- During use, a component or a structure is exposed to variable amplitude loading, which influences the lifetime. Within the scope of this work, systematic investigations of different loading situations are carried out by means of experimental studies (part I) as well as analytical and numerical studies (part II). The experimental investigations show that overloads lead to retardation effects, which are influenced by several factors, e.g. the overload ratio, baseline-level loading, number of overloads or the fraction of mixed mode. In a high–low–high block loading, both retarded and accelerated crack growth can be obtained, which is also influenced, e.g. by the block loading ratio and the length of the block. Moreover, experimental studies have been performed with load spectra, like FELIX/28, CARLOS vertical and WISPER. They have been applied in original form as well as in counted and reconstructed sequences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
