In this study, the influence of microstructure on the cyclic behaviour and lifetime of Cu and Au wires with diameters of 25μm in the low and high cycle fatigue regimes was investigated. Low cycle fatigue (LCF) tests were conducted with a load ratio of 0.1 and a strain rate of ~2e-4. An ultrasonic resonance fatigue testing system working at 20 kHz was used to obtain lifetime curves under symmetrical loading conditions up to very high cycle regime (VHCF). In order to obtain a total fatigue life model covering the low to high cycle regime of the thin wires by considering the effects of mean stress, a four parameter lifetime model is proposed. The effect of testing frequency on high cycle fatigue data of Cu is discussed based on analysis of strain rate dependency of the tensile properties with the help of the material model proposed by Johnson and Cook.

Temperature and strain rate dependences of low-cycle fatigue life can be represented by a modified Larson-Miller parameter. The parameter P is written by P=T(logN25−Alog ε˙ + B), where T is temperature, N25 is fatigue life, ε˙ is strain rate, and A and B are constants. In the analysis, each data of several kinds of engineering materials from ferritic steels to austenitic stainless steels are used. These are the authors original data published in the documents of NRIM Fatigue Data Sheets. The result of 304 stainless steel has been compared with statistical analysis result by Diercks adopted in a design code. The fatigue life curves represented by the proposed parameter analysis fitted well test data in high-cycle region as well as ones in low-cycle region.

In this paper, cycles jumping scheme integration is used to numerically integrate fully coupled constitutive equations in order to predict the low cycle fatigue life under cyclic loading. This procedure avoids the calculation of the full loading cycles (some millions of loading cycles) while considering the transient stages due to the hardening (at the beginning) and the high damage-induced softening during the last tens of loading cycles. The model parameters have been identified using the results obtained from a 316L steel cylindrical specimen subject to symmetric tension-compression loading path. The effects of the specimen size as well as the mesh size on the fatigue life prediction are investigated.

In this study, the effects of temperature and strain rate on low cycle fatigue life of Bi-Sn eutectic alloys have been studied. The fatigue life improves with the increasing of temperature and the decreasing of strain rate. This is a reverse phenomenon from characteristics found in general metals. As temperature increases and strain rate decreases, grin boundary sliding becomes the dominant deformation mechanism and the fatigue ductility coefficient increases, resulting in an improvement of fatigue life. To the extent of this study, dependence on temperature and strain rate can be expressed by Manson-Coffin’s law modified using Z-parameters.

A tailored-for-purpose environmental fatigue testing facility was previously developed to perform direct strain-controlled tests on stainless steel in simulated PWR water. Strain in specimen mid-section is generated by the use of pneumatic bellows, and eddy current measurement is used as a feedback signal. The procedure conforms with the ASTM E 606 practice for low cycle fatigue, giving results which are directly compatible with the major NPP design codes. Past studies were compiled in the NUREG/CR-6909 report and environmental reduction factors Fen were proposed to account for fatigue life reduction in hot water as compared to a reference value in air. This database exclusively contained non-stabilized stainless steels, mainly tested under stroke control. The applicability of the stainless steel Fen factor for stabilized alloys was already challenged in past papers (PVP2013-97500, PVP2014-28465). The results presented in this paper follow the same overall trend of lower experimental values (4.12–11.46) compared to those expected according to the NUREG report (9.49–10.37). In this paper results of a dual strain rate test programme on niobium stabilized AISI 347 type stainless steel are presented and discussed in the context of the NUREG/CR-6909 Fen methodology. Special attention is paid to the effect of strain signal on fatigue life, which according to current prediction methods does not affect the value of Fen.

Strain rate change tests were performed under uniaxial tension-compress cycle loading during low cycle fatigue of AZ91D magnesium alloy using plastic strain as the control variable. Results show that the cyclic softening phenomenon is appeared in testing materials when cycle strain amplitude is less than 0.4%. With the increase of the cyclic strain amplitude, material displays obviously cyclic hardening; at the same time, the additional strengthening degree of materials is increased. Further study found that the slope of the curve is unchanged when the strain amplitude is more than 1.0%. The changes of strain rate has a little impact on the low cycle fatigue life of AZ91D magnesium alloy, conversely, the changes of strain amplitude has a great influence on low cycle fatigue life on the material. With the improvement of strain amplitude, fatigue life is reduced obviously. In addition, the Coffin-Manson formula fitting equation has good consistency with the experimental data, which is used in low cycle fatigue prediction life.
