“…Their limitations can be summarized as follows: (a) some cannot accurately describe the effects of different loading waveforms, for example, LDS, FMMC and FMDF; (b) most of them ignore the effects of mean strain or mean stress on the fatigue life, such as LDS, FS, DRA, SRR [3,15], DE [14] and the models presented in [7,18]; (c) many of the existing models are not applicable under stress controlled conditions, for example, SRP and SEP, DE [14] and SRR [3,15]. The methods reported in [15][16][17] are limited to evaluation of HTLCF life under strain controlled conditions. In addition, many reported methods require specific types of tests to estimate the corresponding parameters or have too many "to be determined parameters or constants", thus restricting their usefulness, such as LDS, FS, SRP, SEP, DRA, GSEDF [19], models reported in [16] and DOA [20].…”
