EFFICIENT RESPONSE SURFACE METHOD FOR FATIGUE LIFE PREDICTION

An efficient response surface construction method for fatigue life prediction is investigated in this study, based on the Gaussian process (GP) modeling approach. The model is applied to fatigue crack growth analysis, in order to save the computational effort in calculating the stress intensity fact...
