In this thesis, we pursue a simulation-based approach whereby microstructure-sensitive finite element simulations are performed within a statistical perspective to examine the VHCF life variability and assess the surface initiation probability. The methodology introduced in this thesis lends itself as a cost-effective platform for development of microstructure-property relations to support design of new or modified alloys, or to more accurately predict the properties of existing alloys.
