Towards a methodology for the practical applications of the EIFS (Equivalent Initial Flaw Size) concept
This work intends to introduce a probabilistic approach for the crack propagation analysis. It presents a methodology that is based on the distribution of the initial flaw size a0. Departing from fatigue test results for specific structural components, an estimation of the initial flaw distribution...
