Abstract
In practice, fatigue properties such as stress life and strain life are often fit from a relatively small amount of data, making accurate statistical analysis a challenge. Using a strain energy based damage model to predict strain-life and stress-life curves from individual specimens (Huffman in Int J Fatigue 88:197–204, 2016 [1]), a set of curves can be created to more accurately reflect the range of strain-life values that would come from more extensive testing. This work examines how the expected variation in stress–strain properties could be used to predict the set of curves if the strain hardening behavior of the individual specimens is unknown.
