The mean stress effect on the fatigue life of Type 316 stainless steel was investigated at 325°C in simulated PWR primary water. It was shown that, as shown in high-temperature air environment, the fatigue life was extended by applying the mean stress under the same stress amplitude. An increase in the maximum peak stress by applying the mean stress induced additional plastic strain and this hardened the material. On the other hand, the fatigue life was shortened by the mean stress for the same strain range. The ratcheting strain caused by applying mean stress accelerated crack mouth opening and reduced fatigue life. It was also shown that the fatigue life in the simulated PWR primary water was shorter than that in air even without the mean stress. The magnitude of the reduction depended on the strain range. The reduction in fatigue life was the maximum when the strain range was 0.6%. The environmental effect disappeared when the effective strain was less than 0.4%.

The mean stress effect on the fatigue life of type 316 stainless steel was investigated in simulated pressurized water reactor (PWR) primary water and air at 325 °C. The tests in air environment have revealed that the fatigue life was increased with application of the positive mean stress for the same stress amplitude because the strain range was decreased by hardening of material caused by increased maximum peak stress. On the other hand, it has been shown that the fatigue life obtained in simulated PWR primary water was decreased compared with that obtained in air environment even without the mean stress. In this study, type 316 stainless steel specimens were subjected to the fatigue test with and without application of the positive mean stress in high-temperature air and PWR water environments. First, the mean stress effect was discussed for high-temperature air environment. Then, the change in fatigue life in the PWR water environment was evaluated. It was revealed that the change in the fatigue life due to application of the mean stress in the PWR water environment could be explained in the same way as for the air environment. No additional factor was induced by applying the mean stress in the PWR water environment.

Abstract An experimentally validated model is proposed for the effect of fastener mean stress on its high cycle fatigue (HCF) performance. The model is also used for comparing fatigue performance of ultra-high strength (UHS) fasteners Class 14.8, 15.8 and 16.8 with that of commercially available (CA) Class 10.9 and 12.9 fasteners. Respective mean stress-adjusted S-N curves are constructed using experimental data following applicable ASTM standards. Proposed model results are compared with other existing models that account for the effect of mean stress such as Goodman, Gerber, Morrow, Soderberg, and Elliptic (ASME) models. Detailed discussion of the results, failure mode, and conclusions are provided.

The goal of the present paper is to discuss the reliability of a strain-based multiaxial Low-Cycle Fatigue (LCF) criterion in estimating the fatigue lifetime of metallic structural components subjected to multiaxial sinusoidal loading with zero and non-zero mean value. Since it is well-known that a tensile mean normal stress reduces the fatigue life of structural components, three different models available in the literature are implemented in the present criterion in order to take into account the above mean stress effect. In particular, such a criterion is formulated in terms of strains by employing the displacement components acting on the critical plane and, then, by defining an equivalent strain related to such a plane. The Morrow model, the Smith-Watson-Topper model and the Manson-Halford model are applied to define such an equivalent strain. The effectiveness of the new formulations is evaluated through comparison with some experimental data reported in the literature, related to biaxial fatigue tests performed on metallic specimens under in-and out-of-phase loadings characterised by non-zero mean stress values.
