Low cycle Fatigue Behavior of Q345b Steel under Uniaxial Cycle Loading You Xianga, Wang Ruidongb, Cui Shimingc, Liu Yongjied, Wang Qingyuane Key Laboratory of Energy Engineering Safety and Disaster Mechanics, Ministry of Education, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China a332720069@qq.com, bwrd0403@126.com, cbelayercui@gmail.com, dliuyongjie_2002@163.com, ewangqy@scu.edu.cn Keywords: low cycle fatigue, Q345b, strain-controlled fatigue Abstract.
It has been widely used in automobile, ship, pressure vessel, especially civil engineering structures, such as bridge, construction, and offshore structures, and so on.
Most civil engineering components made of Q345b steel are often subjected to cyclic loading in service and fatigue failure often occurs on such components.
The cyclic response of most engineering materials is different from their monotonic behavior.
