The general procedure of numerical analysis related to a fatigue damage on the cyclically loaded construction

The paper presents a general procedure of numerical analysis of the steel structure in case of cyclic loading. The basic recommendations that can be applied to different details, are discussed. The article shows examples of the truss structure loaded with a crane track, but also applicable to other types of constructions. There are basic ideas of the whole process, which is divided into several parts. The beginning of the process is to determine the influence line from the simplified model of the whole structure. A stochastic estimation of the load effect associated with the load history in combination with the influence line is utilized. The complex 3D FEM model for estimation of residual life of the chosen detail is the main result of the analysis.
