A Modified Nonlinear Damage Accumulation Model for Fatigue Life Prediction Considering Load Interaction Effects by Huiying Gao, Hong-Zhong Huang, Shun-Peng Zhu, Yan-Feng Li, Rong Yuan

“…A nonlinear fatigue damage accumulation model to consider the effects of load sequences was proposed in earlier literature, but the model cannot consider the load interaction effects, and sometimes it makes a major error. A modified nonlinear damage accumulation model is proposed in this paper to account for the load interaction effects. …”
