Fatigue life evaluation of components in engineering structures is crucial for ensuring their long-term reliability and safety. As operational loads can be arbitrary, including multiaxiality and variable amplitudes, fatigue life assessment approaches able to evaluate these are needed. This study presents a modification to the Findley damage parameter for assessing fatigue life under multiaxial variable amplitude loading, including both proportional and nonproportional loading conditions. The Findley damage parameter is adapted to explicitly account for mean stresses at different loading ratios.
The proposed modification integrates the mean stress sensitivity of the materials into the damage parameter.…

Fatigue life evaluation of components in engineering structures is crucial for ensuring their long-term reliability and safety. As operational loads can be arbitrary, including multiaxiality and variable amplitudes, fatigue life assessment approaches able to evaluate these are needed. This study presents a modification to the Findley damage parameter for assessing fatigue life under multiaxial variable amplitude loading, including both proportional and nonproportional loading conditions. The Findley damage parameter is adapted to explicitly account for mean stresses at different loading ratios.
The proposed modification integrates the mean stress sensitivity of the materials into the damage parameter. Additionally, the nonproportionality of the loads is taken into account by the nonproportionality factor as proposed by Gaier. A set of fatigue data from component testing under variable amplitude loading is utilised to validate the modified parameter’s accuracy. The parameter is used with the critical plane approach and the results are compared to the experimental database. Additionally, the performance of the fatigue assessment procedure for different material groups from the FKM-guideline is evaluated.
