Article Description

This paper investigates the fatigue cyclic deformation behavior of mid-carbon steel. Uniaxial tensile loading tests and fatigue tests under constant and multi-step amplitude loading steps are performed to characterize the influence of loading history. The material is shown to exhibit different uniaxial ratcheting behavior depending on loading history. A smooth and gradual increase in cyclic softening is observed under smaller stress/strain conditions. Based on experimental characterization, numerical investigations are carried out to reproduce the cyclic stress–strain behavior under different variable amplitude load ranges. The nonlinear material behavior is reproduced by means of an elastoplasticity model called the Fatigue SS Model (hereafter, FSS model). The main feature of the FSS model is the ability to describe the cyclic softening behavior within a macroscopically elastic stress state. The good agreement between experimental and numerical results proves the reliability of the model to catch a realistic material response in fatigue problems. Furthermore, the present study introduces a method for the prediction of fatigue crack initiation life under variable loading conditions based on cumulative plastic work.
