Abstract
A method for generating a test coupon specification for predicting fatigue life of a component includes determining a load condition for the component, providing a component design, and performing a strength analysis of the component design under the load condition determining a critical area of the component and a stress-related parameter of the critical area. The method includes providing a material condition of the component at least for the critical area of the component. To assist an end-user in determining which are optimal tests to be performed in order to obtain most relevant data for fatigue prediction of a specific component, the method also includes providing a material model and providing, as an input to the material model, the stress-related parameter, and the material condition. The material model generates, as an output, a test coupon specification for being tested in a testing machine.
