Estimating and tracking crack growth dynamics is essential for fatigue failure prediction. A new experimental system—coupling structural and crack growth dynamics—was used to show fatigue damage accumulation is different under chaotic (i.e., deterministic) and stochastic (i.e., random) loading, even when both excitations possess the same spectral and statistical signatures. Furthermore, the conventional rain-flow counting method considerably overestimates damage in case of chaotic forcing. Important nonlinear loading characteristics, which can explain the observed discrepancies, are identified and suggested to be included as loading parameters in new macroscopic fatigue models.

A novel model for predicting the fatigue crack growth had been developed based on the concept of the fatigue damage accumulation. Fatigue crack growth was considered as a process of continuous crack nucleation. The crack tip failed to form a fresh crack while the accumulative fatigue damage reached the critical damage. A simplified model of the general crack growth model was proposed with the assumption that the damage zone can be divided into many different zones and each zone had the same crack growth rate. The model was applied to predict the crack growth of the compact specimen made of 16MnR steel under the constant amplitude loading. The predicted crack growth rate was in excellent agreement with the experimental observations.
