Metallic materials are extensively used in engineering structures and fatigue failure is one of the most common failure modes of metal structures. Fatigue phenomena occur when a material is subjected to fluctuating stresses and strains, which lead to failure due to damage accumulation. Different methods, including the Palmgren-Miner linear damage rule- (LDR-) based, multiaxial and variable amplitude loading, stochastic-based, energy-based, and continuum damage mechanics methods, forecast fatigue life. This paper reviews fatigue life prediction techniques for metallic materials. An ideal fatigue life prediction model should include the main features of those already established methods, and its implementation in simulation systems could help engineers and scientists in different applications. In conclusion, LDR-based, multiaxial and variable amplitude loading, stochastic-based, continuum damage mechanics, and energy-based methods are easy, realistic, microstructure dependent, well timed, and damage connected, respectively, for the ideal prediction model.

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.
