Fatigue Life Evaluation of Racks for the Three Gorges Ship Lift Based on the Load Spectrum by Chen Zhuo, Shi Lubing, Yan Xiaoqing, Tang Weibi, Li Xuefei, Liu Zhongming

“…Combined with the <italic>S-N</italic> curve of racks and Miner's linear cumulative damage criterion, the damage degree and residual fatigue life of racks within 35 years of design life are calculated. In addition, the cumulative iteration method is used to calculate the contact and bending safety factors of the rack, which realizes the comparison between the actual load and the design load of the rack and the operation safety performance verification. …”
