Abstract
In order to determine the effect of different loads on fatigue damage, a strength degradation model is proposed according to the law of residual strength degradation of metal materials. The model is verified with the strength degradation test data, and the results show that the model can describe the strength degradation process of general metal materials well. Combined with the strength degradation model, an improved equivalent damage model for different loading sequences is proposed. On this basis, a nonlinear fatigue cumulative damage model based on strength degradation is derived. The cumulative damage model is applied to the estimation of fatigue residual life under two-, three-, and four-stage loads to investigate the effects of different loading sequence on fatigue damage under various loading conditions. Combining with experimental data, it is verified that the cumulative damage model can accurately estimate the fatigue life under two-, three-, and four-stage loads.
