A Reinterpretation of the Palmgren-Miner Rule for Fatigue Life Prediction

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA066457 | Open PDF

Abstract:

It is shown that the simple Palmgren-Miner linear cumulative damage rule is a special case of a general cumulative damage theory previously established. Predictions of lifetimes for families of multistage loadings according to the Palmgren-Miner rule and the general cumulative damage theory are compared with the aim of arriving at qualitative guyidelines for applicability of the Palmgren-Miner rule in cyclic loading programs.
