Armored steel sheets have various uses in civil and military industry. For the last one, especially in aeronautics, a better determination of the lifetime for the fatigue and shock loaded parts, is a major challenge. Several methods for fatigue calculus are known: safe-life, fail-safe, crack propagation method. All of this methods are not considering in any way the shocks that can accidentally occur, so in the calculation of lifetime, the role of impact multiplier is null. The authors propose a corrected formula for the calculus of the lifetime for 2P armor steel, based on the internal energy developed into the test specimens, through the impact multiplier.
