Abstract: Considering that the short crack propagation life of titanium alloy is longer, based on  total fatigue life model of   Brown-Hobson model, this paper presented a solution to the total fatigue life prediction for titanium alloy spherical. The paper  analyzed  the total fatigue life model for reliability with non-cross terms quadratic response surface method, gave the impact of different parameters on the reliability index. The method is applied to the fatigue analysis of 4.5 km manned submersible which is under development. The deterministic analysis was carried out  according to the load-time spectrum and then  the influence of different parameters on the structure stability was analyzed, which has important significance on the fatigue design of the manned submersible.

Key words: titanium alloy, total fatigue life model, fatigue reliability, quadratic respond surface method
