This work deals with the formulation of a three-dimensional crystallographic time-incremental lifetime rule for face-centered cubic (fcc) single crystals used for gas-turbine blade applications. The damage contribution rate of each slip system to the total damage is governed by the current values of the resolved shear stress and the slip rate on the corresponding slip system. The damage rule is combined with a crystallographic viscoplastic deformation model. For the nickel-base single-crystal superalloy CMSX4 at 950 ยฐC, various strainand stress-controlled uniaxial cyclic tests with and without hold-times can be described for different crystal orientations by one set of material parameters. For verification, simulation results for a single-crystal specimen with a notch have been compared with corresponding experimental results. The predicted lifetime is within the factor of two of the measured one.
