... Based on a recently developed multi-scale fatigue-fracture- NDE reliability model for uncracked and cracked pipes (see Fong-Marcal-Rainsberger-Heckert-Filliben-Doctor-Finney, PVP2021-62169), we apply the same modeling technique to a comparative study of three approaches to fatigue-life prediction...
