Abstract: A criterion for low-cycle fatigue is developed which supposes that the segment of strain hysteresis associated with work-hardening is a measure of damage. On the basis of this “damage” work ...

Abstract: The plastic strain-life relation for several ductile materials is examined in both air and vacuum and interpreted in light of the well-known plastic strain (ΔξP ) life (N) relation, N1/2 ΔξP ...
