v9.01.103 SZLZ103 - Method RAINFLOW

Summary:

The purpose of this test is to test the cycle counting method RAINFLOW based on a history of stress loading.

We are also testing the functionality of filtering the load history, and taking into account a stress concentration coefficient \({K}_{T}\).

This example is a validation test of software POSTDAM developed by Department REME, provided in the Validation Manual for version 1.0 of this software.

The results provided by the operator POST_FATIGUE are completely identical to those provided by the POSTDAM software.
