The dichotomy of absolute continuity and singularity for a pair of stationary and ergodic measures (one of which need not be ergodic) is obtained using the ergodic decomposition theorem. The known fact that two different stationary and ergodic measures are mutually singular is obtained as a corollary of our result. An example of a pair of stationary-ergodic measures enjoying the dichotomy is presented.

The present paper will give some results of the fatigue behavior of typical axi-symmetric forward extrusion die. The extrusion process is analyzed by rigid-plastic FEM and the deformation analysis of extrusion die is conducted by elasto-plastic FEM. To approach the crack problem LEFM (Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics) is introduced. Using special element in order to conside the sigularity of stress/ strain in the vicinity of the crack tip, stress intensity factor and the effective stress intensity factor is calculated. Applying proper fatigue crack propagation criterion such as Paris/Erdogan fatigue law and maximum principal criterion to these data, then, the angle and the direction of fatigue crack propagation is simulated. In result, it is proved that the simulated fatigue crack propagates in the zigzag path along the radial direction and fatigue life of the extrusion die is evaluated by using the computed crack growth rate.
