Abstract
The work summarizes a large bulk of experimental data from specimens made of 40CrMoV13.9 steel. The first part of the paper deals with multiaxial fatigue strength of notched round bars tested under combined tension and torsion loading, both in-phase and out-of-phase. The results from multi-axial tests are discussed together with those obtained under pure tension and pure torsion loading from notched specimens with the same geometry. The second part of the paper summarizes data from uniaxial-tension stress-controlled fatigue tests on specimens made of the same steel. Tests are performed varying temperature, from room temperature up to 650°C. Altogether more than 180 new fatigue data are summarised in the present work, corresponding to more than two-years of testing programme. All fatigue data are presented first in terms of nominal stress amplitudes referred to the net area and then re-analysed in terms of the mean value of the strain energy density evaluated over a given, crescent shape volume embracing the stress concentration region. For the specific steel, the radius of the control volume is found to be independent of the loading mode.
