Cumulative life damage in dermatology

Cumulative life damage in dermatology

Cumulative life damage is an old concept of considerable face validity, which has attracted more scientific interest in the fields of sociology and psychology than in medicine over the years. The research examines the interconnectivity of the many factors which shape the development of individuals or institutions over time. By focussing on time, context and process, life course research highlig...

Cumulative Fatigue Damage Under stepwise Tension-Compression Loading

Rock structures are subjected to cyclic tension-compression loading due to a blasting, earthquake, traffic and injection-production in underground storage case. Therefore study the fatigue behavior of rock samples under this type of loading is required. In this study, the accumulated fatigue damage for a Green Onyx rock sample which consisted of only one mineral composition with two-step high-l...

Maintenance Overtime Policy with Cumulative Damage

We propose an extended maintenance overtime policy for the cumulative damage model where an operating unit suffers some damage due to shocks. It is assumed that the total damage is additive, and the unit fails when the total damage has exceeded a prespecified damage level. It is supposed that we start to observe occurrence of shocks after time T, and the unit is replaced at Nth (N = 1, 2, ...) ...

Fatigue Life Analysis of Crane K-Type Welded Joints Based on Non-Linear Cumulative Damage Theory

Engineering fatigue fracture failure is one of the most common phenomena of mechanical and structural failure, statistically representing approximately 50 to 90% of total mechanical damage [1]. Lattice structures have been widely used in crane booms, steel plants, parking garages, offshore platforms and other fields [2] to [4]. In a crane, the lattice boom has better mechanical properties compa...
