Fatigue limit under multiaxial loadings: on the definition of the equivalent shear stress

摘要

The goal of the present paper is to propose a criterion to predict the fatigue strength of hard metals under conditions of multiaxial, non-proportional loadings. It is very simple to compute, but still provides very good results for a wide range of in-phase and out-of-phase cycling loads. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved. [References: 10]
