In this paper, based on the thought of Modified Wöhler Curve Method (MWCM), a new general model for predicting multiaxial fatigue life with influence of mean stress is presented. Different from the MWCM, the expressions of multiaxiality effect and mean stress effect are located separately in the proposed fatigue equation, so that the new model can consider the impact of both axial and torsional mean stresses, and the equation form possesses excellent extendibility and variability. The wildly used von Mises equivalent stress is adopted as the fatigue parameter to improve computational efficiency. Finally, in conjunction with the Itoh criterion, the model can be trivially extended to perform non-proportional fatigue prediction with different mean stresses. Some representative fatigue tests published in the previous literature are used to verify this study.

High–cycle multiaxial fatigue tests under proportional and non-proportional loading conditions with various combinations of superimposed static mean stresses was carried out on Cu-ETP copper. The results show differences in fatigue life between various ratios of mean stresses. These results are similar to others described in the literature.

The goal of the present paper is to discuss the reliability of a strain-based multiaxial Low-Cycle Fatigue (LCF) criterion in estimating the fatigue lifetime of metallic structural components subjected to multiaxial sinusoidal loading with zero and non-zero mean value. Since it is well-known that a tensile mean normal stress reduces the fatigue life of structural components, three different models available in the literature are implemented in the present criterion in order to take into account the above mean stress effect. In particular, such a criterion is formulated in terms of strains by employing the displacement components acting on the critical plane and, then, by defining an equivalent strain related to such a plane. The Morrow model, the Smith-Watson-Topper model and the Manson-Halford model are applied to define such an equivalent strain. The effectiveness of the new formulations is evaluated through comparison with some experimental data reported in the literature, related to biaxial fatigue tests performed on metallic specimens under in-and out-of-phase loadings characterised by non-zero mean stress values.

The purpose of the present research project is to study multiaxial fatigue behavior of 2618 alloy. The influence of mean stress on the fatigue behavior under tension and torsion is particularly investigated. Fatigue tests under combined tensile-torsion, in or out of phase, as well as combined tensile-torsion-internal pressure tests have also been conducted. Multiaxial fatigue results are analyzed according to Fatemi-Socie criterion to predict the fatigue life.

High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is used in many industries with many applications from automotive industry to biomedical implants. It can be manufactured using different processing techniques including compression molding, injection molding, and blow molding. Multiaxial loading and non-proportionality between different loading sources are inevitable in many applications. It is shown that the common multiaxial fatigue criteria such as von Mises equivalent stress are not able to correlate the multiaxial fatigue data. In this study, multiaxial fatigue behavior of neat HDPE is investigated using hollow tubular specimens through experimental fatigue tests. Axial, torsion, and combined in phase and out-of-phase axial-torsion fatigue tests were conducted. Stress concentration effect on multiaxial fatigue behavior was also studied. Experimental results and analytical models used to account for the aforementioned effects are presented and discussed in this paper.

The Von Mises equivalent stress criteria is used to equivalent convert and correct the uniaxial and biaxial fatigue reliability experimental study of the casing material. And the probabilistic fatigue P–S–N curve of the casing is gained. The fatigue limit and fatigue life in test is equivalent convert to actual casing by combined stress correction factor. A multiaxial fatigue life calculation formula is proposed by correcting the probabilistic fatigue P–S–N curve.

Anodized Aluminum alloys are widely used in aeronautic construction due to their specific mechanical properties. However, anodization process often leads to a decrease of the fatigue resistance of the alloys. In order to identify and characterize the different mechanisms involved in the detrimental effect of anodization of 2618-T851 alloy on its fatigue life and to determine the impact of loading nature, several tests have been performed on specimens with different surface states at various stress ratios. It was found that roughness of machining has no effect unlike the stress ratio or mean stress in tensile tests. The tests on the pickled, anodized, impregnated and sealed specimens showed it was the anodic oxidation step which was the more detrimental for fatigue resistance under tensile loading comparing to the other steps. It has been also observed that no such detrimental effect occurred under torsion loading. Concerning the prediction of fatigue life, two critical plane-based analysis approaches have been used (Morel and Fatemi-Socie criteria) to make fatigue life prediction for uniaxial and multiaxial fatigue test. Comparisons showed that both criteria gives overestimated fatigue life for uniaxial tensile loading under compression mean stress and underestimated fatigue life for tensile-torsion in phase loading.

Multiaxial fatigue tests consisting of push-pull loading and cyclic inner pressure were carried out using hollow cylinder specimens of type 430 stainless and type 316 stainless steels at room temperature. 7 types of cyclic loading paths were employed by combining axial and hoop stresses: a Pull, an Inner-pressure, a Push-pull, an Equi-biaxial, a Square-shape, a LT-shape and a LC-shape. Fatigue lives vary depending on the loading path when those were evaluated by the maximum Mises’ equivalent stress on inner surface of the specimen. The fatigue lives of both the steels showed a similar tendency although some Pull tests take longer fatigue life when cracks initiated from inside surface of the specimen. This study investigated the crack initiation and propagation behaviors as well as the initiation of oil leakage to prove the behavior and discusses life evaluation for two steels under wide ranged biaxial stress state, too.

The paper presents an algorithm for calculating the fatigue life of S355J0 steel specimens subjected to cyclic bending, cyclic torsion, and a combination of bending and torsion using mean stress values. The method of transforming cycle amplitudes with a non-zero mean value into fatigue equivalent cycles with increased amplitude and zero mean value was used. Commonly known and used transformation dependencies were used and a new model of the impact of the mean stress value on the fatigue life of the material was proposed. The life calculated based on the proposed algorithm was compared with the experimental life. It has been shown that the proposed model finds the widest application in the load cases studied, giving good compliance of the calculation results with the experimental results.

Two materials, an Inconel 718 and a 1045 steel, are used to verify the extension of a shear strain-based parameter developed to account for out-of-phase cyclic strain hardening to multiaxial mean-stresses. Shear strain amplitude on the maximum shear strain amplitude plane and the maximum stress normal to this plane are the nominal stress-strain parameters considered in this approach. Tension-torsion and axial-internal pressure loadings using tubular specimens are employed to investigate stress-strain states that exhibit mean-strains and/or mean-stresses. Deformation response relevant to the proposed fatigue damage algorithm such as mean-stress relaxation is discussed. Adequate fatigue life correlations are obtained by implementing the proposed analysis. It is also demonstrated that methodologies successful for correlating uniaxial mean-stress data often lead to erroneous multiaxial life predictions.

The objective of this work is to evaluate the effects of mean stress on the fatigue behaviour of an All Aluminium Conductor (AAC Orchid), Aluminium Conductor Steel Reinforced (ACSR Tern), and an Aluminium Conductor Alloy Reinforced (ACAR 750 MCM). In this sense, 72 fatigue tests on overhead conductors were performed using different values of H/w parameter. Based on the experimental results, the parameters which describe the fatigue behaviour of the conductors were determined after generating theirs S-N curves. In the assessment of the mean stress effects on the fatigue life, Goodman and Gerber’s relations were fitted to evaluate the use of such models for the conductors. It was observed that the evaluation of the mean stress effect on the overhead conductor could be made by using the fatigue relations.
