Multiaxial creep–fatigue Life Prediction Under Variable Amplitude Loading at High Temperature

Abstract

Based on the time–temperature parameter method, a modified von Mises stress is proposed to calculate the multiaxial creep damage at high temperature. By employing the strain-based multiaxial fatigue damage models, the modified von Mises stress is used to predict the creep–fatigue life under variable amplitude multiaxial loading at high temperature. The experimental data of GH4169 superalloy and 304 stainless steel conducted under both constant and variable amplitude loadings at high temperature are used to verify the proposed method, and a good agreement is obtained with the experimental data.
