Consideration of Statistical Approaches Within the Accelerated Assessment of Fatigue Properties of Metallic Materials by Fabian Weber, Aline Wagner, Janina Koziol, Felix Weber, Christoph Broeckmann, Peter Starke

“…In this contribution, combinatorial approaches are used to estimate both lifetime prediction bands and virtually-determined S-N curves with a reduced number of specimens, displaying the material-related scatter due to microstructural inhomogeneities. In addition, a variable energy dissipation factor based on cyclic deformation curves is presented, which enables evaluation of materials that exhibit more pronounced scatter, for instance cast materials. …”
