N2 - This paper presents a stochastic dynamic model of fatigue crack propagation in metallic materials which are commonly encountered in mechanical structures and machine components of complex systems (e.g., aircraft, spacecraft, and power plants). The (non-stationary) statistics of the crack growth process are obtained without solving stochastic differential equations in the Wiener integral or Itô integral setting. The crack propagation model thus allows real-time execution of decision algorithms for risk assessment and life prediction on inexpensive platforms such as a Pentium processor. The model predictions are in close agreement with experimental data of fatigue crack statistics for 2024-T3 and 7075-T6 aluminum alloys.
