High-heat-load components such as photon shutters and masks made of Glidcop Al-15 are subjected to intense thermal cycles from the X-ray beams at the third generation light sources. This paper presents thermal fatigue life prediction results of high-heat-load components at the beam line front end of Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF) under different power conditions. Used in this analysis are four typical multiaxial fatigue life prediction models, i.e. the maximum principal strain model, equivalent vonMises strain model, maximum shear strain model and critical plane approach. Detailed comparisons among them were implemented from various aspects including applicable conditions, physical meanings and resultant veracities. Critical plane approach was finally determined to be more appropriate method for dealing with multiaxial fatigue of high-heat-load components. To obtain the multiaxial stress-strain fields, nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA) was performed with commercial software ANSYS.

The critical plane method is widely discussed because of its effectiveness for predicting the multiaxial fatigue life prediction of metallic materials under the non-proportional loading conditions. The aim of the present paper is to give a comparison of the applicability of the critical plane methods on multiaxial fatigue life prediction. A total of 205 multiaxial fatigue test data of nine kinds of metallic materials under various strain paths are adopted for the experimental verification. Results shows that the von Mises effective strain parameter and KBM critical plane parameter can give well predicted fatigue lives for multiaxial proportional loading conditions, but give poor prediction lives evaluation for multiaxial non-proportional loading conditions. However, FS parameter shows better accuracy than the KBM parameter for multiaxial fatigue prediction for both proportional and non-proportional loading conditions.

The S-N equation is one of the most important equations in fatigue model investigation. A majority of fatigue models, including multiaxial fatigue model and mean effect models, are established on the basis of the S-N equation. Obviously, an accuracy of the S-N equation is very important. Taking into account that the S-N equation is, in fact, an empirical one in which the material constants are determined by numerical fitting fatigue experimental data, in this paper, the S-N equation can be improved, by further processing these fatigue experimental data, to present a new type of S-N equation that is more accurate than the S-N equation. The new type of S-N equation is called a similar S-N equation in this paper. By using a large number of experimental data of metallic materials reported in literature, an accuracy of the similar S-N equation has been proven.
