Abstract

The article proposes an interactive finite element-based method to perform structural reliability of irregular and randomly occurring fatigue cracks. The probability of failure is given by the condition that the applied stress intensity factor exceeds the fracture toughness of the material. To validate the proposed technique, a benchmark problem is applied.
