Statistical analysis or random load counting methods
Lifetime of a mechanical system

The focus here is on methods for interpreting the characteristic parameters of a load history (or a discrete graphical representation) in order to obtain a law for the distribution of these parameters . From the point of view of fatigue verification of mechanical components, the range of variation of variable loads is an essential parameter, as is the value of the mean stress. Variable loads can arise from both external actions and internal stresses. In the remainder of this document, no distinction will be made, since it is possible to determine stresses...
