ON MODELS FOR THE PROBABILITY OF FATIGUE FAILURE OF A STRUCTURE

Abstract

The paper represents an attempt by a person trained in probability theory to survey some of the problems involved in evaluating structural safety. A review is presented of the probabilistic considerations involved in evaluating the strength of materials, and the construction of so called S-N curves. A probabilistic model for the life before fatigue failure of a structure is developed. (Author)
