Engineering structures are usually exposed to cyclic multiaxial loading and subsequently to multiaxial fatigue. Different models and criteria with various capabilities have been proposed for predicting of multiaxial fatigue life. Selection of proper model by considering material, type of loading and operation condition of each engineering structure is a challenging issue of the life prediction ...

This talk will discuss the relationships between subcritical crack growth and the nature of the loading, the environment under which the loading takes place and the type of material tested, and how this data is used in predictive analysis. Loading conditions will include sustained loading as well as constant and variable amplitude cyclic loading. The environments will include vacuum as a baseli...
