When designing structural and mechanical components, general structural integrity criteria must be met in order to ensure a valid performance according to its designed function, that is, supporting loads or resisting any kind of action causing stress and strains to the material without catastrophic failure. For these reasons, the development of solutions to manage the test conditions, failure mechanism, damage evolution, component functionalities and loading types should be implemented. The aim of this Special Issue "Probabilistic Mechanical Fatigue and Fracture of Materials" is to contribute to updating current and future state-of-the-art methodologies that promote an objective material characterization and the development of advanced damage models that ensure a feasible transferability from the experimental results to the design of real components. This is imbricated in some probabilistic background related to theoretical and applied fracture and fatigue theories, and advanced numerical models applied to some real application examples.
在设计结构和机械部件时，必须满足一般的结构完整性标准，以确保根据其设计功能实现有效的性能，即承受载荷或抵抗任何导致材料产生应力和应变的作用而不会发生灾难性故障。基于这些原因，应开发用于管理测试条件、失效机制、损伤演化、部件功能和载荷类型的解决方案。本期特刊“材料的概率机械疲劳与断裂”的目的是为更新当前和未来的先进方法做出贡献，这些方法促进客观的材料表征，并开发先进的损伤模型，以确保从实验结果到实际部件设计的可行可转移性。这与一些与理论和应用断裂及疲劳理论相关的概率背景以及应用于一些实际应用示例的先进数值模型交织在一起。
