Abstract
A new damage parameter is proposed for fatigue life prediction using a local stress-strain approach. This parameter has a physical energy basis, and makes it possible to obtain the same accuracy as, and better life assessments than, the well-known Smith et al parameter using significantly less calculation time for load history treatment. Comparisons of life predictions obtained using the proposed parameter with experimental results and other predictions are presented.
