Abstract

The principle of fatigue life computation was presented on the basis of local stress-strain method. It was set up that the finite element model of stepped shaft with different radii of round corner and radius ratios. The local stress and strain were computed at shaft shoulder fillet under torsion load. The fatigue crack initiation life was determined by means of local stress-strain method under symmetric cyclic torsion load. The result showed that the fatigue life increased with the values of fillet increase and decreased with the values of radius ratio increase, and the smaller of the transition radius was, the shorter of the life would be.
