Fatgiue analysis - simply supported plate

Fatgiue analysis - simply supported plate

Fatgiue analysis - simply supported plate

(OP)
I am trying to do a fatigue analysis of a simply supported steel plate and its supporting members. Plate spans between two beams which are fixed/anchored to underside of a over-bridge. See attached sketch. Plate will be subjected to wind loading w kN/m2 (wind load and suction from passing vehicles). I intend to find the residual stress in steel plate after lets say 70million cycles of suction and wind pressure. Could somebody advise on how to tackle this problem. Could any body advise of books/publications that I can read. Thanks

RE: Fatgiue analysis - simply supported plate

i'd suggest designing so that your cyclic stress is less than the endurance limit of your steel, ie design for infinite life

another day in paradise, or is paradise one day closer ?

Thanks r1957. This is my first Fatigue problem, I wonder if you could suggest any text book/paper for some back ground reading. I have gone through the Eurocode by wasn't able to figure out on how to approach this problem. Thanks
