However, these methods have some limitations due to their empirical nature. Finite element method based on semi-discrete approaches, currently used for simulating the structural response under dynamic conditions, has time-step limitations making HCF simulation an elusive task. Motivated by this critical gap, an extended space-time method (XTFEM) based on the time discontinuous Galerkin formulation [1, 2] is proposed to handle the time-scale issues in fatigue problems. This method is stable for any large time-step and accurately handles high frequency loadings. Advantages of our XTFEM in handling practical fatigue loading histories over semi-discrete methods are presented. XTFEM is coupled with the two-scale continuum damage mechanics model [3] for evaluating fatigue damage accumulation, with a damage model governing the fatigue crack-initiation and propagation as the simulation progresses. HCF simulations are performed using the proposed methodology on a specimen with an initial notch. Results obtained for the total fatigue life of specimen (fatigue crack initiation and propagation) under different loading conditions are presented. Proposed simulation can serve as the robust tool for predicting the life of structural components.
