Abstract

AbstractA finite element program calculates the cyclic behaviour of the individual component phases of a multiphase material using a master curve observed in uniaxial cyclic stress tests. The fatigue behaviour of the two‐phase alloys was characterized by visualizing the evolution of the phase stress (denoted by an average effective stress and an hydrostatic stress) during cyclic loading. The evolution procedure shows a unique fatigue behaviour of the in situ component phases, which differs from that observed in uniaxial or multiaxial fatigue tests of the single phase material. The fatigue damage on a microstructural scale was identified by the distributions of the plastic strain accumulated during cyclic loading and the stress triaxility in the component phases.
