Methode zur Anrisslebensdauervorhersage bei beliebigen mehrachsigen Beanspruchungen (EVICD): Fortschrittliches Werkzeug für die ingenieurmäßige Praxis und Verifikation / Crack initiation life prediction method for arbitrary multiaxial loadings (EVICD): Advanced tool for the engineering practise and verification

by Baum, Christian

In the frame of the current work the incremental EVICD(EVent Independent Continuous Damage) crack initiation life prediction method for arbitrary multiaxial loading was consequently further developed. A modular concept was established to account also for an application of the EVICD method in the engineering practise. Numerous comparisons of EVICD predictions and experimental results have shown satisfactory prediction results of the EVICD method which is recommended in its present stage as a high-grade crack initiation life prediction tool for engineering practise.
