This article presents fatigue life calculations for metals under different multiaxial variable amplitude loading patterns. Developed from a stress-based multiaxial fatigue criterion, a damage parameter used in the fatigue life prediction method can capture correctly different damage mechanisms (proportional and non-proportional multiaxiality, mean stress, asynchronous and variable amplitude) of fatigue loading in the high cycle fatigue domain. The method is based on a reference S-N curve and a cumulative damage law. Assessment of the accuracy of the proposed method is carried out with three different materials from literature (EN-GS800-2 cast iron, 39NiCrMo3 steel and SAE 1045 steel) subjected to different patterns of variable amplitude loading (blocks, non-proportional asynchronous and proportional random loading). Results reveal that the prediction method is in good accordance with the experimental data.

Fatigue damage in the rotating drill pipe in the horizontal well of mining engineering is usually resulted from cyclic bending stresses caused by the rotation of the pipe especially when it is passing through curved sections or horizontal sections. This paper studies fatigue life prediction method of rotating drill pipe which is considering initial crack in horizontal well of mining engineering. Forman fatigue life prediction model which considering stress ratio is used to predict drill string fatigue life and the corresponding software has been written. The program can be used to calculate the stress of down hole assembly, can predict stress and alternating load in the process of rotating-on bottom. Therefore, establishing buckling string fatigue life prediction model with cracks can be a good reference to both operation and monitor of the drill pipe for mining engineering.
