Abstract
This paper presents the theory and hardware to simulate non-loglinear spectra (the typical field case), including a unique method of eliminating low amplitude reversals so that any service load history of high cycle fatigue can be simulated in a laboratory fatigue test. The feasibility of the proposed quasi-stationary random process to simulate the three standard SAE load histories on a statistical basis is demonstrated on both the theoretical and experimental basis.
