2.Rainflow diagram of fatigue

Question

Accepted Answer

Rainflow diagram is a method to analyze fatigue in materials under cyclic loading.

Rainflow diagram is a graphical representation of the stress range versus the number of cycles.
It is used to identify the most damaging cycles and predict the fatigue life of a material.
The diagram is created by plotting the stress range versus the number of cycles for each cycle in a loading history.
The resulting diagram shows the number of cycles at each stress range, allowing for the identification of critical cycles.
Rainflow analysis is commonly used in the aerospace and automotive industries to evaluate the fatigue life of components.
It is also used in the design of offshore structures and wind turbines to ensure their reliability and safety.
