Beyond S-N Curves: A Residual Stress-Driven Approach to Fatigue

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper introduces a novel fatigue failure criterion that leverages the evolution of residual stresses under cyclic loading to more accurately predict fatigue life in advanced materials. Traditional fatigue models often overlook the dynamic nature of residual stresses, which can significantly influence crack initiation and propagation. The proposed criterion incorporates a combination of experimentation and mathematical modeling to capture the complex interplay between cyclic loading, material microstructure, and fatigue damage. The criterion's effectiveness is validated through a series of fatigue tests on representative materials, demonstrating its superior predictive capability compared to conventional methods. This research offers a new paradigm for fatigue analysis, enabling more reliable design and performance assessment of critical components in various engineering applications.
