A Unified Statistical Methodology for Modeling Fatigue Damage

From the reviews:

"This book provides a unified methodology to derive models for fatigue life. … The book gives a new methodology to build-up fatigue models based on a practical knowledge of fatigue problems, combined with common sense, functional equations and statistical methods. … Appendix presents a short description of classical and more recent fatigue models existing in the literature. The proposed models allow simple approaches to be implemented in a practical fatigue design, similar to those employed in current engineering standards."
