35CrMo and 42CrMo are the two main structural alloy steels in China, and are widely used in making important structural components subjected to heavy loads. In order to search after their fatigue properties under cyclic loads, 33 specimens were tested, under different stress level and different stress ratio from each other, to observe their crack initiation lives and the failure lives, together with the growing short crack lengths at various cycles. All tests were conducted using the MTS 810-22 material testing system. Based on the results from the tests, the relationships between the maximum stress range at crack tip and the number of cycles prior to crack initiation were determined, and in the meanwhile, the small crack propagation laws and the threshold stresses for fatigue crack initiation were obtained. In the end, the fatigue life prediction method for the two structural alloy steels was carried out.

Fatigue damage in the rotating drill pipe in the horizontal well of mining engineering is usually resulted from cyclic bending stresses caused by the rotation of the pipe especially when it is passing through curved sections or horizontal sections. This paper studies fatigue life prediction method of rotating drill pipe which is considering initial crack in horizontal well of mining engineering. Forman fatigue life prediction model which considering stress ratio is used to predict drill string fatigue life and the corresponding software has been written. The program can be used to calculate the stress of down hole assembly, can predict stress and alternating load in the process of rotating-on bottom. Therefore, establishing buckling string fatigue life prediction model with cracks can be a good reference to both operation and monitor of the drill pipe for mining engineering.
