Variable Amplitude

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.

Fatigue Life Prediction

An approach based on the continuum damage mechanics was applied to predict corrosion–fatigue crack initiation life of 2024-T62 aluminum alloy. A fatigue test in air, a pre-corrosion–fatigue test, and a corrosion–fatigue test on smooth standard specimens were performed. The fatigue lives are strongly reduced by the corrosive environment of 5 wt.% NaCl continuous salt spray compared with non-corroded specimens. Damage evolution models for fatigue in air and pre-corrosion–fatigue of smooth specimens were established, which forms the basis for solving the corrosion–fatigue problem. Finally, the method of corrosion–fatigue life prediction was presented. The predictions comply with the experimental data.
