Abstract
⺠Cohesive zone elements allow to model fatigue crack initiation and growth. ⺠An algorithm reducing extensively the simulation time with little loss of accuracy was developed. ⺠The variability inherent in the fatigue life was assessed using a random field model. ⺠Both crack initiation and propagation are described by the same model.
