Abstract

Low cycle fatigue failures occur by the initiation and controlled growth of a surface crack. The development of crack propagation models, based on continuum mechanics, have enabled successful predictions of fatigue life at both room and elevated temperatures. This paper attempts to extend such models to cover the situations in which creep damage, introduced during periods of stress relaxation, influences the rate of growth of the surface fatigue crack. Equations predicting fatigue life as a function of hold period are in good agreement with experimental data, for Type 304 stainless steel, Type 316 stainless steel and Incoloy-800.
