Abstract

A significant part of the fatigue life is spent during short crack growth. Therefore, modelling of short fatigue crack growth offers an opportunity to improve the accuracy of numerical life assessment. Besides stating some general remarks on the short crack approach itself and on multiaxial fatigue criteria, a short crack growth based fatigue life prediction approach for multiaxial non‐proportional loading is presented. This approach accounts for the geometrical size effect by considering the geometry correction functions for semi‐elliptical surface cracks in inhomogeneous gradient stress fields. The geometrical size effect is becoming significant for notch radii smaller than four times the defined technical crack size. Additionally, life influencing factors due to the statistical size effect have been taken into account. The comparison of calculated and experimentally observed fatigue lives of shouldered shafts made of S460N with notch radii of 0.2 to 4.0 mm under non‐proportional tension and torsion loading yields a satisfying accuracy.

This paper proposes universal J-integral range for correlating multiaxial low cycle fatigue lives. The universal J-integral range is a function of Young's modulus, yield stress, strain multiaxiality and specimen geometry, so it is not necessary to conduct multiaxial low cycle fatigue experiments to
