Lifespan of a mechanical system - Modeling of random loads

The final objective of the series of 3 files proposed in this document base is the predictive calculation of the service life of mechanical components. In the first file , a statistical analysis and a frequency analysis have provided a representation of the stresses applied to a mechanical system or component. This second dossier will enable us to move on from these representations to models, with the subsequent aim of calculating service life. Two types of modeling will be discussed in this presentation. The first is based on statistical and probabilistic approaches, while the second incorporates interaction between statistical and frequency analysis.
