ESTIMATION OF PEAK PROBABILITY FUNCTIONS AND STRUCTURAL FATIGUE DAMAGE.

Abstract

This report develops theoretical and statistical formulas for estimating peak probability functions and structural fatigue damage. Narrowband Gaussian processes, wideband Gaussian processes, and non-Gaussian processes are considered. Results cover both single degree-of-freedom systems and multiple degree-of-freedom systems. Confidence limits and sample size requirements are derived to estimate fatigue damage from finite size data samples.
