Estimation for Fatigue Behavior of Notched Plate with Mean Stress Effect

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, McEvily’s fatigue crack growth equation is modified and newly combined with the modified Goodman equation to estimate the fatigue strength with arbitrary mean stress, σm. Firstly, based on McEvily’s equation, the threshold stresses for fatigue crack initiation and propagation with stress ratio R = –1 or σm = 0 are predicted with reasonable accuracy. Then, a simple calculation is presented to predict the fatigue strength with arbitrary mean stress. The adequacy of present method is examined based on the comparison with the available experimental data in the literature.
