This technical note investigates some formulae used for estimating the variance of fatigue damage in Gaussian narrowband random loadings. A simple approximation is proposed and compared with the exact closed-form solution based on the Gaussian hypergeometric function. The approximation estimates the coefficient of variation with an error that is about 2% for an S-N inverse slope of m = 4 and below 10% for m = 6.

Abstract

This technical note investigates some formulae used for estimating the variance of fatigue damage in Gaussian narrowband random loadings. A simple approximation is proposed and compared with the exact closed-form solution based on the Gaussian hypergeometric function. The approximation estimates the coefficient of variation with an error that is about 2% for an S-N inverse slope of m = 4 and below 10% for m = 6.
