Recently the decisive role of plastic strain amplitude for the initiation and the growth rate of short cracks has been demonstrated. The plastic strain amplitude can be related to the rate of short crack growth and also to the fatigue life. Since the cyclic stress-strain response of a material determines the plastic strain amplitude it influences basically its fatigue life. The experiments in stress and plastic strain controlled loading and short crack growth are presented and used to demonstrate the importance of the cyclic plastic response for the evaluation of the fatigue life.

Current research focuses on proportional cyclic hardening and non-Massing behaviors. The interaction of these two hardenings can result in the traditionally observed overall softening, hardening or mixed behavior exhibited for fully reversed strain controlled fatigue tests. Proportional experiments were conducted with five materials, 304 stainless steel, normalized 1070 and 1045 steels, and 7075-T6 and 6061-T6 aluminum alloys. All the materials display similar trends, but the 304 stainless steel shows the most pronounced transient behavior and will be discussed in detail. Existing algorithms for this behavior are evaluated in light of the recent experiments, and refinements to the Armstrong-Frederick class of incremental plasticity models are proposed. Modifications implemented are more extensive than the traditional variation of yield stress, and a traditional strain based memory surface is utilized to track deformation history. Implications of the deformation characteristics with regard to fatigue life estimation, especially variable amplitude loading, will be examined. The high-low step loading is utilized to illustrate the effect of transient deformation on fatigue life estimation procedures, and their relationship to the observed and modeled deformation.
