An amplitude probability density function model under broadband multimodal stochastic vibration fatigue response

Abstract

In this paper, a fatigue life prediction model based on the amplitude probability density function under broadband multimodal stochastic vibration response is presented. An analysis method is proposed to address the dispersion of the third- and fourth-order normalized moments of rain-flow amplitude distributions. The unified relationships between the first four-order normalized moments of rain-flow amplitude distributions and the spectral parameters are established to determine the model parameters. Through comparison with other frequency-domain methods and based on the tail probability density distribution of rain-flow amplitude, the proposed model offers more precise and stable fitting results under broadband multimodal response power spectra.
