Stochastic Fatigue Reliability Analysis for Torsion Shaft of Military Tracked Vehicles

There are coupled cases of high-cycle fatigue and low-cycle fatigue in torsion shaft of military tracked vehicles. To accurately analyze the stochastic fatigue reliability of torsion shaft, a new kind of decoupling method for high-cycle fatigue and low-cycle fatigue was firstly put forward. Probability fatigue accumulation damage theory and nominal stress method were combined to analyze high-cycle fatigue. Random response surface method was adopted to fit the life distribution function for low-cycle fatigue. To obtain the high-cycle and low-cycle stochastic fatigue reliability, probability fatigue accumulation damage theory and local stress and strain method were used. Then, composite damages of torsion shaft under high-cycle fatigue and low-cycle fatigue could be achieved based on probability fatigue accumulation damage thoery.
