Abstract
Crack size prediction under variable amplitude loading is a very complex process, which is also important for life prediction in engineering. A crack growth model considering different stress ratio for fatigue remaining life prediction is proposed in this paper. The model utilizes stress ratio to describe the variable loading sequences, which makes the calculation greatly simplified. The rain-flow method is utilized to characterize the load sequence effects under variable amplitude loading. In addition, particle filter is utilized to estimate the model parameters describing the crack growth. Finally, case study indicates that the proposed approach is efficient in predicting crack growth and fatigue remaining life.
