In the present study, a general probabilistic design framework is developed for cyclic fatigue life prediction of metallic hardware using methods that address uncertainty in experimental data and computational model. The methodology involves (i) fatigue test data conducted on coupons of Ti6Al4V material (ii) continuum damage mechanics based material constitutive models to simulate cyclic fatigue behavior of material (iii) variance-based global sensitivity analysis (iv) Bayesian framework for model calibration and uncertainty quantification and (v) computational life prediction and probabilistic design decision making under uncertainty. The outcomes of computational analyses using the experimental data prove the feasibility of the probabilistic design methods for model calibration in presence of incomplete and noisy data. Moreover, using probabilistic design methods result in assessment of reliability of fatigue life predicted by computational models.

A new gradient-based formulation for predicting fracture in elastic-plastic solids is presented. Damage is captured by means of a phase field model that considers both the elastic and plastic works as driving forces for fracture. Material deformation
is characterised by a mechanism-based strain gradient constitutive model. This non-local plastic-damage formulation is numerically implemented and used to simulate fracture in several paradigmatic boundary value problems. The case studies aim at shedding light into the role of the plastic and fracture length scales. It is found that the role of plastic strain gradients is two-fold. When dealing with sharp defects like cracks, plastic strain gradients elevate local stresses and facilitate fracture. However, in the presence of non-sharp defects failure is driven by the localisation of plastic flow, which is delayed due to the additional work hardening introduced by plastic strain gradients.
This paper presents a statistical framework enabling optimal sampling and robust analysis of fatigue data. We create protocols using Bayesian maximum entropy sampling, which build on the staircase and step methods, removing the requirement of prior k
nowledge of the fatigue strength distribution for data collection. Results show improved sampling efficiency and parameter estimation over the conventional approaches. Statistical methods for distinguishing between distribution types highlight the role of the protocol in model distinction. Experimental validation of the above work is performed, showing the applicability of the methods in laboratory testing.
A new phenomenological technique for using constant amplitude loading data to predict fatigue life from a variable amplitude strain history is presented. A critical feature of this reversal-by-reversal model is that the damage accumulation is inheren
tly non-linear. The damage for a reversal in the variable amplitude loading history is predicted by approximating that the accumulated damage comes from a constant amplitude loading that has the strain range of the particular variable amplitude reversal. A key feature of this approach is that overloads at the beginning of the strain history have a more substantial impact on the total lifetime than overloads applied toward the end of the cycle life. This technique effectively incorporates the strain history in the damage prediction and has the advantage over other methods in that there are no fitting parameters that require substantial experimental data. The model presented here is validated using experimental variable amplitude fatigue data for three different metals.
An innovative strategy for the optimal design of planar frames able to resist to seismic excitations is here proposed. The procedure is based on genetic algorithms (GA) which are performed according to a nested structure suitable to be implemented in
parallel computing on several devices. In particular, this solution foresees two nested genetic algorithms. The first one, named External GA, seeks, among a predefined list of profiles, the size of the structural elements of the frame which correspond to the most performing solution associated to the highest value of an appropriate fitness function. The latter function takes into account, among other considerations, of the seismic safety factor and the failure mode which are calculated by means of the second algorithm, named Internal GA. The details of the proposed procedure are provided and applications to the seismic design of two frames of different size are described.
This study presents a meshless-based local reanalysis (MLR) method. The purpose of this study is to extend reanalysis methods to the Kriging interpolation meshless method due to its high efficiency. In this study, two reanalysis methods: combined app
roximations CA) and indirect factorization updating (IFU) methods are utilized. Considering the computational cost of meshless methods, the reanalysis method improves the efficiency of the full meshless method significantly. Compared with finite element method (FEM)-based reanalysis methods, the main superiority of meshless-based reanalysis method is to break the limitation of mesh connection. The meshless-based reanalysis is much easier to obtain the stiffness matrix even for solving the mesh distortion problems. However, compared with the FEM-based reanalysis method, the critical challenge is to use much more nodes in the influence domain due to high order interpolation. Therefore, a local reanalysis method which only needs to calculate the local stiffness matrix in the influence domain is suggested to improve the efficiency further. Several typical numerical examples are tested and the performance of the suggested method is verified.
