Local Monte Carlo Method for Fatigue Analysis of Coarse-Grained Metals with a Nanograined Surface Layer

The fatigue resistance of coarse-grained (CG) metals can be greatly improved by introducing a nanograined surface layer. In this study, the Weibull distribution is used to characterize the spatially-random fracture properties of specimens under axial fatigue. For the cylindrical solid specimen, the...
