The microstructural damage accumulation stage often consumes a significant portion of the total fatigue life of structures. However, its progressive evaluation is beyond the reach of safety inspection techniques which are currently employed to maintain structural integrity and prevent fatigue failures. This project aims to fill this gap by developing innovative methods for the measurement of material properties related to fatigue damage and establishing a new theory which links these properties to the remaining life of the structure. The project outcomes will facilitate the global trend towards predictive maintenance strategies, thereby generating substantial cost benefits, specifically, for high-value assets and ageing infrastructure.

微观结构损伤积累阶段通常会消耗结构总疲劳寿命的很大一部分。但是，其进行性评估超出了安全检查技术的范围，目前被用来维持结构完整性并防止疲劳失败。该项目旨在通过开发创新方法来填补这一空白，以测量与疲劳损害相关的材料特性，并建立将这些特性与结构剩余寿命联系起来的新理论。该项目的结果将促进全球趋势进行预测维护策略，从而为高价值资产和老化基础设施带来了可观的成本收益。
