A formula of equivalent strain for FCC single crystal superalloy was derived based on Hill’s yield criterion and was used for design of biaxial tension-torsion strain paths and loading levels of specimens. biaxial tension-torsion non-proportional cyclic loading process for single crystal nickel-based superalloy at the temperature of 680°C and 850°C was simulated by FEM analyzes; and influence degree of factors, such as strain range, strain path angle, tension-torsion loading phase angle, cycle characteristics and temperature etc., to low cycle fatigue damage of single crystal nickel-based superalloy were analyzed by using analysis of variance based on orthogonal experiments. The results show that if Hill’s equivalent stress range is used as a fatigue damage parameter, the factors produce effects on low cycle fatigue damage of single crystal nickel-based superalloy. The factors are listed in the order of significance as followed: temperature, strain range, tension-torsion loading phase angle, strain path angle and axial loading strain ratio.

The relation between deformation inhomogeneity and low-cycle-fatigue failure of T2 pure copper and the nickel-based superalloy GH4169 under symmetric tension-compression cyclic strain loading is investigated by using a polycrystal representative volume element (RVE) as the material model. The anisotropic behavior of grains and the strain fields are calculated by crystal plasticity, taking the Bauschinger effect into account to track the process of strain cycles of metals, and the Shannon’s differential entropies of both distributions of the strain in the loading direction and the first principal strain are employed at the tension peak of the cycles as measuring parameters of strain inhomogeneity. Both parameters are found to increase in value with increments in the number of cycles and they have critical values for predicting the material’s fatigue failure. Compared to the fatigue test data, it is verified that both parameters measured by Shannon’s differential entropies can be used as fatigue indicating parameters (FIPs) to predict the low cycle fatigue life of metal.

The material properties of single crystal (SC) superalloys are orientation-dependent. To fully exploit the material capacity, the life modeling needs to consider the anisotropy. In the present study the life modeling of SC nickel-base superalloys is considered by employing the modified Mücker's anisotropic theory in which a Hill type function is utilized for describing the anisotropic failure. Strain-controlled low cycle fatigue (LCF) experiments of SC nickel-base superalloys at different crystallographic orientations (i.e.[00, [01 and [11) under high temperatures (i.e.760°C) are carried out to verify the modeling availability for the modified Mücker's anisotropic theory. Further, based on the stress-strain field obtained by the anisotropic elastoplastic constitutive model coupled with the finite element method (FEM), the modified Mücker's anisotropic theory is employed to predict the fatigue life for SC flat plate with a hole.
