The behavior of structures is totally different when they are exposed to fluctuating loading rather than static one which is a well known phenomenon in engineering called fatigue. When the loading is not static but dynamic, the dynamics of the structure should be taken into account since there is a high possibility to excite the resonance frequencies of the structure especially if the loading frequency has a wide bandwidth. In these cases, the structure’s response to the loading will not be linear. Therefore, in the analysis of such situations, frequency domain fatigue analysis techniques are used which take the dynamic properties of the structure into consideration. Vibration fatigue method is also fast, functional and easy to implement. In this thesis, vibration fatigue theory is examined. Throughout the research conducted for this study, the ultimate aim is to find solutions to problems arising from test application for the loadings with nonzero mean value bringing a new perspective to mean stress correction techniques. A new method is developed to generate a modified input loading history with a zero mean value which leads in fatigue damage approximately equivalent to damage induced by input loading with a nonzero mean value. A mathematical procedure is proposed to implement mean stress correction to the output stress power spectral density data and a modified input loading power spectral density data is obtained. Furthermore, this method is improved for multiaxial loading applications. A loading history power spectral density set with zero mean but modified alternating stress, which leads in fatigue damage approximately equivalent to the damage caused by the unprocessed loading set with nonzero mean, is extracted taking all stress components into account using full matrixes. The proposed techniques’ efficiency is discussed throughout several case studies and fatigue tests.

Vibration induced stress and accelerated life analyses of an aerospace structure
Özsoy, Serhan; Kadıoğlu, Fevzi Suat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2006)
Fatigue failure of metallic structures operating under dynamic loading is a common occurrence in engineering applications. It is difficult to estimate the response of complicated systems analytically, due to structure̕s dynamic characteristics and varying loadings. Therefore, experimental, numerical or a combination of both methods are used for fatigue evaluations. Fatigue failure can occur on systems and platforms as well as components to be mounted on the platform. In this thesis, a helicopter̕s Missile W...
Implementation of Dirlik’s damage model for the vibration fatigue analysis
Demirel, Gürzap İ.; Kayran, Altan (2019)
Mechanical fatigue is an important phenomenon when the structures are exposed to dynamic, fluctuating loadings. Especially aerospace structures are commonly exposed to random vibration loadings. In this paper, random vibration fatigue is studied both numerically and experimentally. For this purpose, a rectangular cross-section notched beam is designed in order to conduct the vibration fatigue analysis in the frequency domain by the Dirlik's damage model. Aluminum and steel notched beams are prepared in orde...
Vibration fatigue analysis and testing of notched beams
Demirel, Gürzap İsmail; Kayran, Altan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019)
Mechanical fatigue is an important phenomenon when the structures are exposed to dynamic, fluctuating loadings. Especially aerospace structures are commonly exposed to random vibration loadings. Even if the components are stable and durable for static requirements, vibration fatigue failures can occur due to the dynamic and fluctuating loadings. Moreover, if the loading frequency has a wide bandwidth as in random vibration loadings, the natural frequencies or resonance regions of the structures are disturbe...
Vibration fatigue analysis of structures installed on air platforms
Eldoğan, Yusuf; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2012)
Although a component satisfies all operating static requirements, failures can still occur due to vibration induced fatigue. Vibration induced fatigue is a frequent phenomenon, in cases where the natural frequencies of the structures are excited by the loading. Hence, the methods which consider all dynamic characteristic of the structure should be used to obtain accurate fatigue life predictions. These methods in frequency domain are called vibration fatigue methods which give accurate, reliable and fast re...
Singularity robust inverse dynamics of planar 2-RPR parallel manipulators
Ider, SK (SAGE Publications, 2004-07-01)
In planar parallel robots, limitations occur in the functional workspace because of interference of the legs with each other and because of drive singularities where the actuators lose control of the moving platform and the actuator forces grow without bounds. A 2-RPR (revolute, prismatic, revolute joints) planar parallel manipulator with two legs that minimizes the interference of the mechanical components is considered. Avoidance of the drive singularities is in general not desirable since it reduces the ...
