Abstract:A new path-independent multiaxial fatigue damage parameter σ à n , which is defined as the largest normal stress range between adjacent turning points of the maximum shear stress on the critical plane, is proposed to describe multiaxial fatigue damage. By combining the maximum normal stress σ n, max or the largest normal stress range σ à n with the maximum shear stress range on the critical plane, two axial equivalent stress modification factors, k σ eq and k σà eq , are proposed, which can account for the inf… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
