Abstract:
Fatigue analysis is a critical aspect of structural engineering and material design, focused on understanding the progressive weakening of materials and structures subjected to repetitive loading and unloading. Despite stresses below the material's yield strength, fatigue failures can occur over time, necessitating sophisticated methods for accurate fatigue life assessment. Rainflow counting, a widely employed technique, simplifies the task of processing and analyzing fatigue data. This article briefly introduces fatigue analysis using Rainflow counting, delving into its principles, applications, and advantages.
