12. Glossary
The numerical designation assigned to a particular constructive detail for a given direction of stress to indicate the fatigue strength curve to be applied to evaluate its resistance (this number corresponds to the reference fatigue strength in MPa)
Fatigue loading
Set of action parameters based on representative load-events and described by load positions, magnitude, phasing and relative frequency of occurrence.
Equivalent fatigue loading of constant amplitude
Simplified constant-amplitude loading giving the same damage as real variable-amplitude load-events
Geometric stress, hot spot stress
