The invention provides a method and apparatus for predicting the failure of a component using a probabilistic model of a material's microstructural-based response to fatigue. The method predicts the component failure by a computer simulation of multiple incarnations of real material behavior, or virtual...http://www.google.com.au/patents/US7016825?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US7016825 - Method and apparatus for predicting the failure of a component

Optional:
Determine Regions of Similar Geometric Detail and Use the Same Established RVE Life for each RVE of Similar Geometric Detail to Create a Spatial Correlation for Those Regions
