Vibration Fatigue by Spectral Methods relates the structural dynamics theory to the high-cycle vibration fatigue. The book begins with structural dynamics theory and relates the uniaxial and multiaxial vibration fatigue to the underlying structural dynamics and signal processing theory. Organized in two parts, part I gives the theoretical background and part II the selected experimental research. The time- and frequency- domain aspects of signal processing in general, related to structural dynamics and counting methods are covered in detail. It also covers all the underlying theory in structural dynamics, signal processing, uniaxial & multiaxial fatigue; including non-Gaussianity and non-stationarity. Finally, it provides the latest research on multiaxial vibration fatigue and the non-stationarity and non-Gaussianity effects.

This book is for engineers, graduate students, researchers and industry professionals working in the field of structural durability under random loading and vibrations and also those dealing with fatigue of materials and constructions.

Introduces generalized structural dynamics theory of multiaxial vibration fatigue Maximizes understanding of structural dynamics theory in relation to frequency domain fatigue Illustrates connections between experimental work and theory with case studies, cross-referencing, and parallels to accelerated vibration testing

This book brings together the latest research on vibration fatigue and related topics from the first international event entirely dedicated to the field: a symposium held in Udine, Italy, on September 17–18, 2025, celebrating the 40th anniversary of Turan Dirlik’s doctoral thesis, which introduced the formula for the probability distribution of rainflow ranges. Featuring contributions from both academia and industry, the book covers theoretical, numerical, and experimental approaches to fatigue analysis, including spectral and probabilistic methods, non-stationary and non-Gaussian processes, shaker testing, mission synthesis, and industrial case studies. Serving as a unique reference for engineers, researchers, and practitioners, it offers cutting-edge tools and insights for the analysis, design, and testing of structures and mechanical components subjected to vibrational loads.
