This study investigates the effects of creep behavior on fatigue strength of the perforated plate at elevated temperature, when Stress Redistribution Locus (abbreviated as SRL) method is applied for the perforated plate. The creep-fatigue test is carried out by using the specimens made of SUS304 stainless steel at the temperature of 550°C. The trapezoidal wave having tensile hold time at peak strain is assumed. The geometry of the perforated plate specimens are changed in the same manner as the fatigue test by varying number or diameter-size of through holes. The linear damage rule for fatigue and creep is assumed, and the comparison between the experimental results, namely the SRL method evaluation at the Campbell’s diagram will be made. Both of the load and displacement are measured in all the cyclic history of the loadings to clarify the relation between crack initiation or propagation and the load decrease from the viewpoint of direct observation of crack at the holes side.

This study reports the experimental results carried out at the elevated temperature of 550°C on fatigue strength of the perforated plate. Stress Redistribution Locus (abbreviated as SRL hereafter) Method is applied to predict fatigue life for the specimens having stress concentration. The specimens made of SUS304 stainless steel have through holes with different number and different diameter, accordingly leading to the different stress concentration condition. The inelastic local strain is estimated by the SRL method or the other previous Neuber’s rule, and compared to the experimental results on the crack initiation life at the edge of the hole using the concentrated local strain obtained by these methods. The obtained result is that the SRL method is best used with the onset of failure or crack initiation.

Stress and strain locus in inelastic deformation is important to evaluate the fatigue strength and creep-fatigue strength. The stress redistribution locus (SRL) of perforated plate under displacement-controlled condition has been studied so far by the present authors. The SRL curve under displacement-controlled loading is almost independent of the employed constitutive equation, and the SRL takes the similar curve as Neuber’s one, if the inelastic stress/strain is non-dimensionalized by elastic solutions. However, the SRL under force-controlled loading is not studied yet, which is closely related to collapse load and fatigue strength. The response under thermal loading is also important for fatigue strength and creep-fatigue strength. Based on the 3D FE solutions under force-controlled loading or thermal loading for the perforated plate, the nonlinear feature will be discussed.

In structures having stress concentration under cyclic and holding loading, a small crack initiates and it grows and propagates. The present paper shows the experimental results of the perforated plate having the different diameters and the prescribed different strain amplitude. In the specimens having a circular hole, a crack initiates at the hole side having the most severe stress concentration in the specimen, and then the other crack also starts to initiate at the opposite hole side. Growth of both cracks is observed from the photographs taken at each cycle to study the relation between crack growth and load decrease. The feature of crack growth initiating of creep-fatigue test from multiple origins will be discussed for those of fatigue test.

The accurate evaluation scheme for creep-fatigue strength is one of the continuing main issues for elevated temperature design; particularly, the three-dimensional structure having stress concentration is becoming more important. The present paper investigates fatigue strength and creep-fatigue strength of perforated plate having stress concentration as an example. The specimens are made of type 304 SUS stainless steel, and the temperature is kept to 550°C. The whole cycles of the experiment record are analyzed, and the characteristics of the structure having stress concentration are discussed. The present paper employs stress redistribution locus (abbreviated as SRL) in evaluation plastic behavior in cyclic fatigue process as well as stress relaxation in creep process, and the feasibility is discussed in conjunction with the comparison to experimental results.

The law of low-cycle fatigue with hold time at elevated temperature is investigated in this paper. A new life prediction model for the situation of fatigue and creep interaction is developed, based on the damage due to fatigue and creep. In order to verify the prediction model, strain-controlled low-cycle fatigue tests at temperature 693K, 823K and 873K and fatigue tests with various hold time at temperature 823K and 873K for 316L austenitic stainless steel were carried out. Good agreement is found between the predictions and experimental results.
