This work investigates the axial-torsional fatigue and cyclic deformation behaviour of 304L stainless steel at room temperature. Four fully reversed strain-controlled loading paths (axial, torsional, proportional axial-torsional, and 90º out-of-phase axial-torsional) and a fully-reversed shear strain-controlled with static axial stress loading were investigated. For axial, torsional, torsional with static stress and few proportional experiments, an initial cyclic softening was followed by secondary hardening related to martensitic transformation. Secondary hardening was not observed for non-proportional loading nor for some proportional experiments. The influence of the non-stabilized cyclic deformation behaviour on the fatigue life estimates of two multiaxial critical plane fatigue models (Smith–Watson–Topper and Fatemi–Socie) was investigated. Life estimates based on the stress-strain hysteresis loops corresponding to the maximum softening and to the half-life were similar for the two models.

AbstractThe rate-dependence of piezoelectric materials resulting from the kinetics of domain switching is an important factor that needs to be included in realistic modeling attempts. This paper provides a systematic study of the rate-dependent hysteresis behavior of a commercially available PZT stack actuator. Experiments covering full as well as minor loops are conducted at different loading rates with polarization and strain recorded. In addition, the creep behavior at different constant levels of the electric field is observed. This provides evidence of kinetics being characterized by strongly varying relaxation times that can be associated with different switching mechanisms.
