Modeling Approach for Predicting the Rate of Frequency Change of Notched Beam Exposed to Gaussian Random Excitation

During fatigue damage accumulation, cracks propagate through the material leading to catastrophic failure. As the cracks propagate, the natural frequency lowers, leading to a changing stress state. A new method has been developed where the damage accumulation rate is computed in the frequency domain...
