In this study, fatigue tests using a one-side notched specimen of SNCM439 were conducted to investigate the validity of probabilistic fatigue strength assessment of mechanical structural materials via structural reliability analysis. First, the probability density functions were defined as statistical variations of fatigue strength and fatigue loading to perform structural reliability analysis for fatigue failure of the specimen using Monte Carlo simulation. The result of the structural reliability analysis was then compared with the probability of fatigue failure obtained from fatigue tests with fatigue loading, which was by the probability density function of the fatigue loading in the structural reliability analysis. The result showed that the probability of fatigue failure calculated via structural reliability analysis agree with the likelihood of fatigue failure obtained from fatigue tests. This study provides substantial evidence for the validity of probabilistic fatigue strength assessment via structural reliability analysis.
