Abstract
The common hypothesis in the literature is that the expected damage due to stationary Gaussian loads can be conservatively estimated by approximating the load by a Gaussian narrow-band process. We prove the hypothesis for rainflow, peak-valley and zero-crossings amplitude counts. We present a general upper bound for the fatigue damage determined using the Miner-Palmgren rule and the rainflow counting method for any load with finite expected crossing intensity.
