Abstract
One important element of any computational fatigue analysis is the adoption of a hypothesis of fatigue damage accumulation. The most commonly used is the hypothesis of linear accumulation of fatigue damage called the Palmgren-Miner hypothesis. This linear hypothesis does not take into account a factor of great importance: the mutual influence of consecutive fatigue load sequences on each other. In the presented paper, only two consecutive load sequences linked by mutual relations have been analyzed and the results of the analysis have been shown. A more complex form which takes into account the full load history would create complex formula difficult to use. Perhaps, we should go in this direction, especially that today we have enormous computing power at our disposal.
