摘要
A method is presented for estimating fatigue reliability under variable loading, which isbased on load cycles-fatigue life interference theory as well as cumulative fatigue damageanalysis. The basic opinion is that for variable loading the increment of failure probability pro-duced by each load cycle is determined by the stress level as well as the damage state at whichthis load cycle applies Contrast to 'conditional reliability-equivalent life methodology'. this meth-od calculates the equivalent cycle numbers between different stress levels according to cumulativefatigue damage rule but not equivalent failure probability.
