A general damage parameter for fatigue and creep-fatigue applications based on the hypothesis that damage is dependent on the internal total octahedral strain energy is derived. This general parameter is valid for isothermal mechanical cycling and inherently accounts for multiaxiality and mean stress for both nonviscous and viscous deformation response, including hold times. Forms of the parameter which correspond to laboratory test conditions under generalized states of stress and strain with nonzero mean stress are derived. The ability of these specific forms to affect data consolidation is examined using experimental fatigue and creep-fatigue life data for the corresponding conditions. It is shown that these specific forms of the general parameter affect a high degree of data consolidation.

Abstract The results of comparative examinations of mechanical behaviour during fatigue loads and microstructure assessment before and after fatigue tests were presented. Composites of aluminium matrix and SiC reinforcement manufactured using the KoBo method were investigated. The combinations of two kinds of fatigue damage mechanisms were observed. The first one governed by cyclic plasticity and related to inelastic strain amplitude changes and the second one expressed in a form of ratcheting based on changes in mean inelastic strain. The higher SiC content the less influence of the fatigue damage mechanisms on material behaviour was observed. Attempts have been made to evaluate an appropriate fatigue damage parameter. However, it still needs further improvements.

ABSTRACTA modified fatigue test matrix that provided both creep (high mean stress) and fatigue (alternating stress) damage was used to evaluate the creep-fatigue behavior of D.S. Ni3 Al(B,Hf). The three generic regimes of below, at, and above peak yield strength temperature were investigated. It was found that the creep-fatigue resistance of this intermetallic remains high through the three temperature regimes, allowing it to be further considered as a monolith or as the matrix of high-temperature fiber reinforced composite.

Heat-aging effects on the material properties and fatigue life prediction of natural rubber were experimentally investigated. The rubber specimens were heat-aged in an oven at the temperature ranging from 50oC to 100oC for a period ranging from 1 day to 90days. Fatigue life prediction methodology of vulcanized natural rubber was proposed by incorporating the finite element analysis and fatigue damage parameter determined from fatigue test. Fatigue life prediction equation effectively represented by a single function using the Green-Lagrange strain. Predicted lives are in a good agreement with the experimental lives within a factor of two

For the last decades, fully erected container cranes have been delivered to a customer site by ships. On one hand, using this method of transportation is very attractive due to its cost and time savings. However, on the other hand, being exposed to cycling loads from the ship motions during the sea voyage, the crane structure accumulates fatigue damage. Using the accumulated fatigue damage parameter, the crane transportation could be associated with the amount of the working cycles the crane could have worked out during its normal operating at the customer site. In the presenting paper the research for the real case of a new crane voyage from China to Ukraine has been done.
