Which Fatigue Design Norms/Standards Should FatPy Implement?

[Vybornak2]

Hi all,

To make FatPy useful for practical engineering design, we should consider implementing calculation methods based on common fatigue design standards or guidelines.

Which norms do you think are most important for FatPy to incorporate methods from? Examples could include:

• FKM Guideline (Analytical Strength Assessment)
• Eurocode 3 (Steel Structures - Fatigue Aspects)
• DVS 1612 (Welded Aluminium Joints)
• Others like IIW recommendations, specific industry norms?

We aim to implement specific computational procedures from these standards (e.g., characteristic SN curves, mean stress effects, notch calculations), not the entire documents.

What calculation methods from which standards would be most valuable for FatPy?

Please suggest relevant norms and the specific methods within them.

Thanks for your input!
