Cylindrical specimens of cast polycrystalline nickel base superalloy Inconel 713 LC and Inconel 792-5A were cyclically strained under total strain control at 23 and 700 °C. Morphology and volume fraction of γ´ precipitates are different in both materials. Cyclic hardening/softening curves, cyclic stress-strain curves, and fatigue life curves were obtained at both temperatures. The cyclic hardening/softening curves depend both on temperature and plastic strain amplitude. The cyclic stressstrain curves can be fitted by power law. Experimental data of fatigue life curves can be approximated by the Manson-Coffin and Basquin laws. Dislocation structure was studied in transmission electron microscope. Planar dislocation arrangements in the form of bands parallel to {111} planes were identified in both superalloys at both temperatures. Stress-strain response and fatigue life characteristics are compared at both temperatures and discussed in relation to dislocation arrangement and structural parameters of the materials studied.

Cylindrical specimens of cast polycrystalline nickel base superalloy Inconel 738LC were cyclically strained under total strain control at 23 and 800 °C to fracture. Cyclic hardening/softening curves, cyclic stress-strain curves, and fatigue life curves were obtained at both temperatures. Surface relief was studied in specimens fatigued to failure using scanning electron microscopy. Cyclic hardening/softening behaviour depends both on temperature and strain amplitude. Low amplitude straining was characterized by saturation of the stress amplitude. In high amplitude straining a pronounced hardening was found which was followed by saturation at room temperature and by cyclic softening at 800 °C. The cyclic stress-strain curves can be fitted by power law. They are shifted to lower stresses with increasing temperature. Fatigue life curves can be approximated by the Manson- Coffin and Basquin laws. The Manson-Coffin and Basquin curves are shifted to lower lives with increasing temperature. Slip markings were detected on specimen surface at all test temperatures. When temperature grows the density of slip markings is reduced.

Aluminium alloys are widely used in the fields of automobile, machinery and naval construction. To investigate the effect of non-proportional loadings and corrosive environment on the fatigue resistance of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, a set of uniaxial and multiaxial low cycle fatigue tests were carried out. Firstly, the results of uniaxial tests showed that the alloy exhibited cyclic hardening then cyclic softening. With the increase of stress amplitude the cyclic softening became pronounced. The increasing of plastic deformation was basically cyclically stable with small plastic strain amplitude accumulation when the stress amplitude was lower than 200MPa ,while it was increasing rapidly when the stress amplitude was higher than 220MPa. Secondly, it was observed that non-proportional cycle additional hardening of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy was little. While the fatigue life was badly affected by the loading paths. Thirdly ,the fatigue corrosion interactions were also talked about in details by performing the tests under the same loading conditions with corrosive environment. The experiment proved that the seawater corrosion has huge impact on fatigue life under pH 3. Finally, a multi-axial fatigue life prediction model was used to predict the fatigue life with or without the corrosive environment which showed a good agreement with experimental data.

An experimental and theoretical study was performed of the nonlinear behavior of a simply supported flat circular aluminum plate under reversed cyclic central load. The application is for the analysis of cyclic stress and strain of structural components in the plastic range for predicting low-cycle fatigue life. The main purpose was to determine the relative accuracy of an elastic-plastic large deformation finite element analysis when the material properties input data are derived from monotonic (noncyclic) stress-strain curves versus that derived from cyclic stress-strain curves. The results showed that large errors could be induced in the theoretical prediction of cyclic strain range when using the monotonic stress-strain curve, which could lead to large errors in predicting low-cycle fatigue life. The use of cyclic stress-strain curves, according to the model developed by Morrow, et al., proved to be accurate and convenient.
