Fatigue is produced by the sum of randomly phased sine waves. Fatigue damage during this non-Gaussian, finite random process is a function of the noise bandwidth, the fatigue slope, mean stress, and the rms stress. Methods are developed for predicting the cycles to failure. Comparison is made with data.
