Novel Fatigue Lifetime Prediction for Brittle Materials

by using Strength Failure Mode-linked Modeling of Loading,

a Mode-linked Basic (master) S-N Curve,

the Application of a Strength Mode-linked variation of Kawai’s ‘Modified Fatigue Strength Ratio’ for estimating further S-N curves-brittle material behavior such as isotropic grey cast iron, transversely-isotropic UD material
