Abstract
Abstract This paper presents a simple algorithm of hysteresis loop counting to make on‐line data processing much easier. It involves a modification of the range pair counting method and the rain flow method and yields practically the same result as these methods. In addition, the applicability of the present method to cumulative damage estimation is examined in experiments on fatigue crack growth rates under stationary random loads and low cycle fatigue lives under stationary random loads together with non‐stationary random loads such as seismically excited loads.
