โฆ Synopsis
Most low cycle fatigue testing is carried out under total strain controlled limits and the plastic strain component is determined retrospectively after the test by considering the hysteresis loop closest to the mid-life. Currently there is no universal method for determining the plastic strain range.
It is demonstrated that variability in excess of 30% can arise in the values of the plastic strain range calculated according to the different methods adopted by current Standards and commercial testing software.

The gauges were bonded to a variety of testpiece materials and calibrated in uniaxial stress fields of tension and bending. It is shown from loading and unloading cycles within the plastic r
