Rainflow Counting Explained for Code-Compliant Fatigue Verification

About the Webinar

In fatigue verification, loads rarely repeat in a simple way. To assess fatigue damage correctly, engineers need a reliable way to identify cycles and apply them in a consistent workflow. 

On Wed, Apr 8, SDC Verifier structural engineer Michal Oleksy will explain the Rainflow Counting Method and show how it is used in code-compliant fatigue verification. 

  • Rainflow Counting Fundamentals — why variable-amplitude loading requires cycle counting, how full and half cycles are identified, and how rainflow counting connects to fatigue damage ​

  • How design standards such as DIN, Eurocode, F.E.M., and EN use rainflow counting in fatigue verification 

  • How rainflow counting is applied to FEA results together with mean stress correction and damage summation 

  • How a consistent workflow in SDC Verifier helps reduce manual work and keep fatigue checks clear and traceable
