摘要
This paper studies the modeling of fatigue crack propagation on a multiple crack site of a finite plate using deterministic and probabilistic methods. Stress intensity factor has been calculated by the combined deterministic approach of the dual boundary element method (DBEM) and the probabilistic approach of the Gaussian Monte Carlo method. The Gaussian Monte Carlo method has been incorporated to simulate the random process of the fatigue crack propagation. A finite plate of aluminum alloy 2024-T3 with a thickness of 1.6 mm and 14 holes is analyzed and the fatigue life of the plate is predicted by following a linear elastic law of fracture mechanics. The results of fatigue life predicted by DBEM-Monte Carlo method are in good agreement with experimental ones. The same approach is also applied to two other engineering applications of a gear tooth and a bracket. Crown Copyright (C) 2009 Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
