Multiaxial high-cycle fatigue life prediction model based on the critical plane approach considering mean stress effects

摘要

The aim of this paper is to propose a modified multiaxial high-cycle fatigue criterion based on the critical plane approach. The proposed criterion contains three parameters, that is, shear stress amplitude, normal stress amplitude and mean normal stress. In order to take into account the mean shear stress effects, the critical plane is determined by the maximum shear stress. In the proposed multiaxial fatigue criterion, the influence of mean normal stress on fatigue damage is also considered. Based on the proposed criterion, the multiaxial fatigue life is predicted, and the results showed a good agreement with experimental data obtained from some literatures.
