Low Cycle Fatigue and Life Prediction Methods

  • Conference paper

Abstract

This paper reviews the various methods available for correlating and predicting life to failure in low cycle fatigue at high temperature. The extent to which individual techniques were applicable to the data obtained in the COST 50 Programme is considered and the limitations are discussed. The relevance of metallographic examination in providing details of the fracture characteristics and mechanisms involved is indicated. The use of LCF fracture maps has been proposed as an aid in the selection of appropriate predictive techniques.
