Summary: In this study, the residual fatigue life of natural rubber components under variable amplitude loads is predicted using a support vector machine (SVM) model and a nonlinear fatigue cumulative damage (NFCD) model. The experimental results demonstrate that the prediction accuracy of these models is higher than that of the traditional Miner criterion.

Summary: This study investigates the damage accumulation process of grouted connections of offshore wind turbines under variable axial fatigue load. Through cyclic compression tests and finite element numerical simulations, it is found that the grout damage under low load range can be accelerated by sudden large loads, and larger load range results in greater damage accumulation and reduced bearing capacity of the connection.

Summary: Metallic materials are widely used in engineering constructions, and fatigue failure is a common failure mechanism in metals. Despite being studied for almost 160 years, many problems in metal fatigue remain unsolved. Fatigue occurs in metals when they are subjected to varying loads, leading to failure due to accumulation of damage. The fatigue process involves damage buildup, crack initiation, and crack growth until reaching the critical flaw size. Various prediction models have been developed to understand and predict the fatigue phenomenon, including microstructure scale parameters and different approaches for life prediction. This paper reviews these models and identifies gaps in knowledge about predicting fatigue crack initiation under variable loading at high temperatures.

Summary: In this study, vibration data from a transmission line in the center-west region of Brazil was used to perform fretting fatigue tests on aluminum alloy wires. Two different methodologies for life prediction were applied to variable amplitude loading conditions, and the agreement between measured and predicted lives indicated their usefulness for fatigue analysis of overhead conductors.
