For
fatigue life prediction, the dynamical
load function is required to
calculate the stress-strain hysteresis and within the strain energy density. It
represents only a load cycle.
- Load Cycle Time
This is the max time for a load cycle
- Cycle Time Step
It is the time step for the load cycle. This defines the number of calculating points for the time axis in fatigue life prediction.
- Sample Size
It is the number of the real test units for fatigue analysis.
