Abstract

The large variability in Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF) data produced by different laboratories, difficult to be simply removed by improvements and more rigid standardization of testing procedures, makes uncertain the application of such data to component life prediction. Instead of analyzing causes of errors in LCF tests, this paper addresses the problem of the consequences. At least in a simple (1-D, isothermal) LCF case, it is shown that the life estimate can be considerably shielded from errors in input data, provided certain conditions are met.
