Abstract
A method based on strain energy density field (SEDF) has been proposed to predict the angle of fatigue critical points and multi-axial life of the notched parts under multi-axial cyclic loading. The point bearing the maximum strain energy density was taken as the fatigue crack initiation point (fatigue critical point). The influence of stress-strain gradient around the notches were considered via combining SEDF and the critical distance theory (TCD) to calculate the multi-axial notch life. The predictive results indicate that the maximum deviation of the fatigue critical point (FCP) was 7.0°. The most of the predictive life was within the 3-time error band.
