1 Introduction

Engineering components are always subjected to complexcycle loading during the service period and the failure even-tually occurs due to the accumulated fatigue damage [1] Inengineering applications fatigue failures occur in localregions where stress concentrations generate multiaxialstressstrain states [2]Themultiaxial stressstrain states com-monly arise from multidirectional external loads notcheffects and complex geometric features which indeed influ-ence the fatigue strength of engineering components [3]

Understanding of multiaxial fatigue strength of metallicmaterials is always based upon the experimental observationsfrom thin-walled tubular specimens under axial-torsionalloading For a long period the multiaxial fatigue tests aremainly focused on the base material of metals A review ofthe multiaxial fatigue experiments for metallic materials canbe found in [4 5] In the last decade Chen et al [6] studied themultiaxial strength of type 304 stainless steel under sequentialbiaxial loading Gao et al [7 8] tested the multiaxial fatiguestrength of 16MnR steel and 7075-T651 aluminum alloyunder various multiaxial loading paths Shang and Wang [9]conducted the fatigue tests on hot-rolled medium-carbon45 steel under the axial-torsional loading using sinusoidal

For welded steel structures residual stresses weldingdefects material inhomogeneity in the weld zone and soforth caused by the welding process can significantly reducethe fatigue strength of the welded joints [12ndash14] At presentthe fatigue design of welded joints is mainly based onthe fatigue resistance S-N curves which are obtained fromthe statistical analysis of the uniaxial fatigue test results ofclassified welding structural details [15ndash17] However mul-tiaxial fatigue of welded joints is rarely investigated Chenet al [18] conducted the low-cycle fatigue experiments on1Cr-18Ni-9Ti stainless steel and related weld metal underaxial torsional and 90∘ out-of-phase loading Fatigue ofwelded components under bending-torsion proportion andnonproportion loading was studied in [19]

To study the multiaxial cycle deformation and low-cyclefatigue behaviors of mild carbon Q235B welded joints whichare more and more widely used in the steel constructions inChina the fatigue experiments are conducted on Q235B steeland its weldment by using thin-walled tubular specimensunder fully reversed strain-controlled loading conditionswith uniaxial in-phase and 90∘ out-of-phase loading TheKBM FS andMKBM critical plane parameters are evaluatedfor the experimental data gathered in this study

Fatigue tests were conducted on an MTS tension-torsionmachine under strain-controlled loading using a tension-torsion strain extensometer with the gauge length of 25mmwhich is mounted at the center of the outside of the specimengauge section to measure the strain responses The loadingfrequency for constant-amplitude tests is 10HZ Fatigue lifeis assumed as the number of cycles for which there is 30reduction with respect to themaximum tensile or shear stressof the uniaxial test

3 Results and Discussion

The stable hysteresis loops of base-metal and welded-metalspecimens under uniaxial in-phase and 90∘ out-of-phase

loading at different strain amplitude are presented in Figures4ndash6 respectively It can be observed that the multiaxial cycledeformation behavior for in-phase loading condition is basi-cally the same as the uniaxial one while the multiaxial cycledeformation behaviors for out-of-phase loading conditionsignificantly changed The maximum shear and axial stressresponses as well as shear and axial strains are simultaneousunder in-phase loading conditions for both base-metal andwelded-metal specimen However the maximum values ofcyclic stress and strain responses do not always occur atthe same time under the 90∘ out-of-phase loading whichindicates that the metalrsquos plastic yield flow for 90∘ out-of-phase loading condition is different from that under theuniaxial one

Crack initiation under uniaxial fatigue test is in thecircumferential direction as usual In the in-phase fatiguetest the patterns of the macroscopic crack are observedsimilar to that of uniaxial fatigue test For the 90∘ out-of-phase fatigue test the crack direction is irregular becausethemaximum principal stress direction changed with respectto the nonproportionality loading condition and the frac-ture shape of the macrocrack for 90∘ out-of-phase fatiguetest was jagged The crack patterns for base metal andwelded metal under in-phase and out-of-phase loadingconditions are shown in Figures 7 and 8 respective-ly

The fatigue experimental and analytical results for thebase-metal and welded-metal specimens under uniaxialin-phase and 90∘ out-of-phase loading are presented inTable 4 The table includes axial and shear stress and strainamplitudes maximum shear strain amplitude acting onthe maximum shear plane (critical plane) Δ120574max2 strainration the normal strain range acting on the critical planeΔ120576119899 maximum normal stress acting on the critical plane120590119899max and strain ration parameter 120582 for each fatiguetest

The stabilized cycle stress-strain relationship can be rep-resented by the Ramberg-Osgood equation [23 24]

Δ1205762 = Δ1205761198902 + Δ1205761199012 = Δ1205902119864 + ( Δ12059021198701015840)11198991015840 (1)

where1198701015840 is the cyclic hardening coefficient and 1198991015840 is the cyclichardening exponent119864 is Youngrsquos modulus of the investigatedmaterial and Δ120576 and Δ120590 are the equivalent strain range andthe equivalent stress range respectively Δ120576119890 and Δ120576119901 arethe equivalent elastic strain range and the equivalent plasticstrain range respectively The equivalent elastic strain can becalculated based on Hookersquos lawThe equivalent plastic strainrange can be then calculated by

Δ1205761199012 = Δ1205762 minus Δ1205761198902 = Δ1205762 minus Δ1205902119864 (2)

conditions It can be also seen that the stabilized cyclic stress-strain curves of the welded metal are over those of the basemetal under the same loading condition It can be concludedthat the welding process produces extra additional hardeningfor the weldment compared with the base metal

4 Fatigue Life Analysis

TheManson-Coffin equation in terms of the equivalent strainparameter for fatigue evaluation under uniaxial loading canbe written as [20ndash22]

Δ1205762 = 1205901015840119891119864 (2119873119891)119887 + 1205761015840119891 (2119873119891)119888 (3)

where Δ120576 is the equivalent von Mises strain range 119873119891 isthe cycle numbers to fatigue failure and 1205901015840119891 1205761015840119891 b and119888 are the fatigue strength coefficient the fatigue ductilitycoefficient the fatigue strength exponent and the fatigueductility exponent respectively The fatigue properties fittedby (3) for the base metal and welded metal under theuniaxial in-phase and 90∘ out-of-phase loading are listed inTable 5

The relationships of equivalent strain parameters versusfatigue life under the investigated loading conditions areshown in Figure 10(a) for the base-metal specimens and inFigure 10(b) for the welded-metal specimens respectivelyIt can be seen that the fatigue life under in-phase loadingconditions is slightly longer than that under uniaxial loadingconditions for both base metal and welded metal whilethe fatigue life for 90∘ out-of-phase loading conditions issignificantly reduced for both base metal and welded metalcompared with the uniaxial case Therefore the followingconclusion can be drawn the equivalent strain parameter isnot well correlated with fatigue life in the case of out-of-phaseloading

Fatigue lives of base-metal and welded-metal specimenfor the three investigated loading conditions are compared inFigure 11 It can be observed that the fatigue life of welded-metal specimen is greatly reduced compared with that of basemetal under the same loading conditions and the fatiguelife reduction of weldment increases with increasing strainamplitude

5 Critical Plane Parameters

Three strain-based critical plane parameters which areadopted to correlate the fatigue life for the different loadingconditions are investigated in this section

Kandil-Brown-Miller [22] takes the linear combination ofthe shear and the normal strain ranges acting on the criticalplane as the fatigue parameter The correlation of the KBMparameters and fatigue lives can be obtained by employing

Fatemi and Socie [25] proposed a widely accepted criticalplane concept using the maximum normal stress which canreflect the effect of nonproportional cyclic additional harden-ing onmultiaxial fatigue damage to replace the normal strainin KBM parameter The Fatemi-Socie (FS) model can bewritten as

where 120590119899max is the maximum normal stress acting on thecritical plane 120590119910 is the yield strength for the investigated

materials 119896 is an experimental coefficient As an approxima-tion one may simply assume the experimental coefficient inFS model to be 10 [10]

Based on the FS critical plane concept Li and the coau-thors [4] developed a stress-correlated factor to consider theeffect of the nonproportional additional hardening on multi-axial fatigue damage which can be used to modify the KBMparameter The Modified KBM (MKBM) model can berewritten as

Δ120574max2 + (1 + 120590119899max120590119910 ) Δ1205761198992= [1205901015840119891119864 (2119873119891)119887 + 1205761015840119891 (2119873119891)119888](1 + 1205901015840119891120590119910 (2119873119891)

in-phase tests No correlation could be found for the 90∘out-of-phase loading condition It should be noted that theexperimental coefficient 119878 in KBM model is taken as 08 forthe base metal and 10 for the welded metal respectivelywhich are the averaged values over the fatigue test data

FS parameters and fatigue life are well correlated forbase metal and welded metal for all loading conditions Thecorrelation of the MKBM parameters with the fatigue life forthe out-of-phase loading is greatly improved with respect toKBM especially for the welded-metal specimens under 90∘out-of-phase loading The improving predictions of the FSand MKBM parameters for out-of-phase loading conditionscan be attributed to the introduced stress term 120590119899max whichreflects the effect of the material additional cyclic hardeningdue to the nonproportionality of the cyclic loading onmultiaxial fatigue damage

A critical plane approach should be able to predict boththe fatigue life and the critical planes where cracks arepredicted to initiate [26 27] Comparison of theoreticalpredictions with experimental data allows evaluating thevalidity of a proposed critical plane approach However dueto the difficulties in defining cracking direction observedexperimentally due to the roughness of the crack surfacelimited work has been done in the evaluation of a criticalplane approach for predicting the cracking directions Jiang[26] investigated the cracking behavior predictions of FSmodel by using 35 thin-walled tubular specimens of S460Nsteel and found that only about 20 specimens are predictedcorrectly by the FS model for the cracking orientationswhich reveals that the predictions for the cracking directionsare far less desirable than the fatigue life predictions Thetime-consuming cracking behavior observation may have

6 Conclusions

The multiaxial cycle deformation and fatigue behavior ofQ235B mild carbon steel and its related welded metal are

experimentally investigated in the present paper The follow-ing conclusions can be drawn

(1) Significant additional cyclic hardening effect is ob-served for both base steel and welded metal underout-of-phase loading conditions Besides weldingproc-ess produces extra additional hardening com-pared with the base metal

(2) Fatigue strength under in-phase loading is slightlyhigher than that under uniaxial loading for both base

(3) Fatigue strength for welded-metal specimens isgreatly reduced compared with the base metal underthe same loading conditions and the fatigue lifereduction of the weldment increases with increasingapplied strain amplitudes

(4) The FS and the MKBM parameters show bettercorrelation with fatigue life for both base-metal andwelded-metal specimensThe good correlation can beattributed to the introduction of maximum normalstress acting on the critical plane which can reflectthe influence of the nonproportional hardening onmultiaxial fatigue damage

To study the multiaxial cycle deformation and low-cyclefatigue behaviors of mild carbon Q235B welded joints whichare more and more widely used in the steel constructions inChina the fatigue experiments are conducted on Q235B steeland its weldment by using thin-walled tubular specimensunder fully reversed strain-controlled loading conditionswith uniaxial in-phase and 90∘ out-of-phase loading TheKBM FS andMKBM critical plane parameters are evaluatedfor the experimental data gathered in this study

Fatigue tests were conducted on an MTS tension-torsionmachine under strain-controlled loading using a tension-torsion strain extensometer with the gauge length of 25mmwhich is mounted at the center of the outside of the specimengauge section to measure the strain responses The loadingfrequency for constant-amplitude tests is 10HZ Fatigue lifeis assumed as the number of cycles for which there is 30reduction with respect to themaximum tensile or shear stressof the uniaxial test

3 Results and Discussion

The stable hysteresis loops of base-metal and welded-metalspecimens under uniaxial in-phase and 90∘ out-of-phase

loading at different strain amplitude are presented in Figures4ndash6 respectively It can be observed that the multiaxial cycledeformation behavior for in-phase loading condition is basi-cally the same as the uniaxial one while the multiaxial cycledeformation behaviors for out-of-phase loading conditionsignificantly changed The maximum shear and axial stressresponses as well as shear and axial strains are simultaneousunder in-phase loading conditions for both base-metal andwelded-metal specimen However the maximum values ofcyclic stress and strain responses do not always occur atthe same time under the 90∘ out-of-phase loading whichindicates that the metalrsquos plastic yield flow for 90∘ out-of-phase loading condition is different from that under theuniaxial one

Crack initiation under uniaxial fatigue test is in thecircumferential direction as usual In the in-phase fatiguetest the patterns of the macroscopic crack are observedsimilar to that of uniaxial fatigue test For the 90∘ out-of-phase fatigue test the crack direction is irregular becausethemaximum principal stress direction changed with respectto the nonproportionality loading condition and the frac-ture shape of the macrocrack for 90∘ out-of-phase fatiguetest was jagged The crack patterns for base metal andwelded metal under in-phase and out-of-phase loadingconditions are shown in Figures 7 and 8 respective-ly

The fatigue experimental and analytical results for thebase-metal and welded-metal specimens under uniaxialin-phase and 90∘ out-of-phase loading are presented inTable 4 The table includes axial and shear stress and strainamplitudes maximum shear strain amplitude acting onthe maximum shear plane (critical plane) Δ120574max2 strainration the normal strain range acting on the critical planeΔ120576119899 maximum normal stress acting on the critical plane120590119899max and strain ration parameter 120582 for each fatiguetest

The stabilized cycle stress-strain relationship can be rep-resented by the Ramberg-Osgood equation [23 24]

Δ1205762 = Δ1205761198902 + Δ1205761199012 = Δ1205902119864 + ( Δ12059021198701015840)11198991015840 (1)

where1198701015840 is the cyclic hardening coefficient and 1198991015840 is the cyclichardening exponent119864 is Youngrsquos modulus of the investigatedmaterial and Δ120576 and Δ120590 are the equivalent strain range andthe equivalent stress range respectively Δ120576119890 and Δ120576119901 arethe equivalent elastic strain range and the equivalent plasticstrain range respectively The equivalent elastic strain can becalculated based on Hookersquos lawThe equivalent plastic strainrange can be then calculated by

4 Fatigue Life Analysis

TheManson-Coffin equation in terms of the equivalent strainparameter for fatigue evaluation under uniaxial loading canbe written as [20ndash22]

Δ1205762 = 1205901015840119891119864 (2119873119891)119887 + 1205761015840119891 (2119873119891)119888 (3)

where Δ120576 is the equivalent von Mises strain range 119873119891 isthe cycle numbers to fatigue failure and 1205901015840119891 1205761015840119891 b and119888 are the fatigue strength coefficient the fatigue ductilitycoefficient the fatigue strength exponent and the fatigueductility exponent respectively The fatigue properties fittedby (3) for the base metal and welded metal under theuniaxial in-phase and 90∘ out-of-phase loading are listed inTable 5

The relationships of equivalent strain parameters versusfatigue life under the investigated loading conditions areshown in Figure 10(a) for the base-metal specimens and inFigure 10(b) for the welded-metal specimens respectivelyIt can be seen that the fatigue life under in-phase loadingconditions is slightly longer than that under uniaxial loadingconditions for both base metal and welded metal whilethe fatigue life for 90∘ out-of-phase loading conditions issignificantly reduced for both base metal and welded metalcompared with the uniaxial case Therefore the followingconclusion can be drawn the equivalent strain parameter isnot well correlated with fatigue life in the case of out-of-phaseloading

Fatigue lives of base-metal and welded-metal specimenfor the three investigated loading conditions are compared inFigure 11 It can be observed that the fatigue life of welded-metal specimen is greatly reduced compared with that of basemetal under the same loading conditions and the fatiguelife reduction of weldment increases with increasing strainamplitude

5 Critical Plane Parameters

Three strain-based critical plane parameters which areadopted to correlate the fatigue life for the different loadingconditions are investigated in this section

Kandil-Brown-Miller [22] takes the linear combination ofthe shear and the normal strain ranges acting on the criticalplane as the fatigue parameter The correlation of the KBMparameters and fatigue lives can be obtained by employing

Fatemi and Socie [25] proposed a widely accepted criticalplane concept using the maximum normal stress which canreflect the effect of nonproportional cyclic additional harden-ing onmultiaxial fatigue damage to replace the normal strainin KBM parameter The Fatemi-Socie (FS) model can bewritten as

where 120590119899max is the maximum normal stress acting on thecritical plane 120590119910 is the yield strength for the investigated

materials 119896 is an experimental coefficient As an approxima-tion one may simply assume the experimental coefficient inFS model to be 10 [10]

Based on the FS critical plane concept Li and the coau-thors [4] developed a stress-correlated factor to consider theeffect of the nonproportional additional hardening on multi-axial fatigue damage which can be used to modify the KBMparameter The Modified KBM (MKBM) model can berewritten as

in-phase tests No correlation could be found for the 90∘out-of-phase loading condition It should be noted that theexperimental coefficient 119878 in KBM model is taken as 08 forthe base metal and 10 for the welded metal respectivelywhich are the averaged values over the fatigue test data

FS parameters and fatigue life are well correlated forbase metal and welded metal for all loading conditions Thecorrelation of the MKBM parameters with the fatigue life forthe out-of-phase loading is greatly improved with respect toKBM especially for the welded-metal specimens under 90∘out-of-phase loading The improving predictions of the FSand MKBM parameters for out-of-phase loading conditionscan be attributed to the introduced stress term 120590119899max whichreflects the effect of the material additional cyclic hardeningdue to the nonproportionality of the cyclic loading onmultiaxial fatigue damage

A critical plane approach should be able to predict boththe fatigue life and the critical planes where cracks arepredicted to initiate [26 27] Comparison of theoreticalpredictions with experimental data allows evaluating thevalidity of a proposed critical plane approach However dueto the difficulties in defining cracking direction observedexperimentally due to the roughness of the crack surfacelimited work has been done in the evaluation of a criticalplane approach for predicting the cracking directions Jiang[26] investigated the cracking behavior predictions of FSmodel by using 35 thin-walled tubular specimens of S460Nsteel and found that only about 20 specimens are predictedcorrectly by the FS model for the cracking orientationswhich reveals that the predictions for the cracking directionsare far less desirable than the fatigue life predictions Thetime-consuming cracking behavior observation may have

(1) Significant additional cyclic hardening effect is ob-served for both base steel and welded metal underout-of-phase loading conditions Besides weldingproc-ess produces extra additional hardening com-pared with the base metal

(2) Fatigue strength under in-phase loading is slightlyhigher than that under uniaxial loading for both base

(3) Fatigue strength for welded-metal specimens isgreatly reduced compared with the base metal underthe same loading conditions and the fatigue lifereduction of the weldment increases with increasingapplied strain amplitudes

(4) The FS and the MKBM parameters show bettercorrelation with fatigue life for both base-metal andwelded-metal specimensThe good correlation can beattributed to the introduction of maximum normalstress acting on the critical plane which can reflectthe influence of the nonproportional hardening onmultiaxial fatigue damage

Figure 4 Axial hysteresis loops for uniaxial loading (a) base metal and (b) welded metal

Fatigue tests were conducted on an MTS tension-torsionmachine under strain-controlled loading using a tension-torsion strain extensometer with the gauge length of 25mmwhich is mounted at the center of the outside of the specimengauge section to measure the strain responses The loadingfrequency for constant-amplitude tests is 10HZ Fatigue lifeis assumed as the number of cycles for which there is 30reduction with respect to themaximum tensile or shear stressof the uniaxial test

3 Results and Discussion

The stable hysteresis loops of base-metal and welded-metalspecimens under uniaxial in-phase and 90∘ out-of-phase

loading at different strain amplitude are presented in Figures4ndash6 respectively It can be observed that the multiaxial cycledeformation behavior for in-phase loading condition is basi-cally the same as the uniaxial one while the multiaxial cycledeformation behaviors for out-of-phase loading conditionsignificantly changed The maximum shear and axial stressresponses as well as shear and axial strains are simultaneousunder in-phase loading conditions for both base-metal andwelded-metal specimen However the maximum values ofcyclic stress and strain responses do not always occur atthe same time under the 90∘ out-of-phase loading whichindicates that the metalrsquos plastic yield flow for 90∘ out-of-phase loading condition is different from that under theuniaxial one

Crack initiation under uniaxial fatigue test is in thecircumferential direction as usual In the in-phase fatiguetest the patterns of the macroscopic crack are observedsimilar to that of uniaxial fatigue test For the 90∘ out-of-phase fatigue test the crack direction is irregular becausethemaximum principal stress direction changed with respectto the nonproportionality loading condition and the frac-ture shape of the macrocrack for 90∘ out-of-phase fatiguetest was jagged The crack patterns for base metal andwelded metal under in-phase and out-of-phase loadingconditions are shown in Figures 7 and 8 respective-ly

The fatigue experimental and analytical results for thebase-metal and welded-metal specimens under uniaxialin-phase and 90∘ out-of-phase loading are presented inTable 4 The table includes axial and shear stress and strainamplitudes maximum shear strain amplitude acting onthe maximum shear plane (critical plane) Δ120574max2 strainration the normal strain range acting on the critical planeΔ120576119899 maximum normal stress acting on the critical plane120590119899max and strain ration parameter 120582 for each fatiguetest

The stabilized cycle stress-strain relationship can be rep-resented by the Ramberg-Osgood equation [23 24]

Δ1205762 = Δ1205761198902 + Δ1205761199012 = Δ1205902119864 + ( Δ12059021198701015840)11198991015840 (1)

where1198701015840 is the cyclic hardening coefficient and 1198991015840 is the cyclichardening exponent119864 is Youngrsquos modulus of the investigatedmaterial and Δ120576 and Δ120590 are the equivalent strain range andthe equivalent stress range respectively Δ120576119890 and Δ120576119901 arethe equivalent elastic strain range and the equivalent plasticstrain range respectively The equivalent elastic strain can becalculated based on Hookersquos lawThe equivalent plastic strainrange can be then calculated by

Δ1205761199012 = Δ1205762 minus Δ1205761198902 = Δ1205762 minus Δ1205902119864 (2)

conditions It can be also seen that the stabilized cyclic stress-strain curves of the welded metal are over those of the basemetal under the same loading condition It can be concludedthat the welding process produces extra additional hardeningfor the weldment compared with the base metal

4 Fatigue Life Analysis

TheManson-Coffin equation in terms of the equivalent strainparameter for fatigue evaluation under uniaxial loading canbe written as [20ndash22]

Δ1205762 = 1205901015840119891119864 (2119873119891)119887 + 1205761015840119891 (2119873119891)119888 (3)

where Δ120576 is the equivalent von Mises strain range 119873119891 isthe cycle numbers to fatigue failure and 1205901015840119891 1205761015840119891 b and119888 are the fatigue strength coefficient the fatigue ductilitycoefficient the fatigue strength exponent and the fatigueductility exponent respectively The fatigue properties fittedby (3) for the base metal and welded metal under theuniaxial in-phase and 90∘ out-of-phase loading are listed inTable 5

The relationships of equivalent strain parameters versusfatigue life under the investigated loading conditions areshown in Figure 10(a) for the base-metal specimens and inFigure 10(b) for the welded-metal specimens respectivelyIt can be seen that the fatigue life under in-phase loadingconditions is slightly longer than that under uniaxial loadingconditions for both base metal and welded metal whilethe fatigue life for 90∘ out-of-phase loading conditions issignificantly reduced for both base metal and welded metalcompared with the uniaxial case Therefore the followingconclusion can be drawn the equivalent strain parameter isnot well correlated with fatigue life in the case of out-of-phaseloading

Fatigue lives of base-metal and welded-metal specimenfor the three investigated loading conditions are compared inFigure 11 It can be observed that the fatigue life of welded-metal specimen is greatly reduced compared with that of basemetal under the same loading conditions and the fatiguelife reduction of weldment increases with increasing strainamplitude

5 Critical Plane Parameters

Three strain-based critical plane parameters which areadopted to correlate the fatigue life for the different loadingconditions are investigated in this section

Kandil-Brown-Miller [22] takes the linear combination ofthe shear and the normal strain ranges acting on the criticalplane as the fatigue parameter The correlation of the KBMparameters and fatigue lives can be obtained by employing

Fatemi and Socie [25] proposed a widely accepted criticalplane concept using the maximum normal stress which canreflect the effect of nonproportional cyclic additional harden-ing onmultiaxial fatigue damage to replace the normal strainin KBM parameter The Fatemi-Socie (FS) model can bewritten as

where 120590119899max is the maximum normal stress acting on thecritical plane 120590119910 is the yield strength for the investigated

materials 119896 is an experimental coefficient As an approxima-tion one may simply assume the experimental coefficient inFS model to be 10 [10]

Based on the FS critical plane concept Li and the coau-thors [4] developed a stress-correlated factor to consider theeffect of the nonproportional additional hardening on multi-axial fatigue damage which can be used to modify the KBMparameter The Modified KBM (MKBM) model can berewritten as

Δ120574max2 + (1 + 120590119899max120590119910 ) Δ1205761198992= [1205901015840119891119864 (2119873119891)119887 + 1205761015840119891 (2119873119891)119888](1 + 1205901015840119891120590119910 (2119873119891)

in-phase tests No correlation could be found for the 90∘out-of-phase loading condition It should be noted that theexperimental coefficient 119878 in KBM model is taken as 08 forthe base metal and 10 for the welded metal respectivelywhich are the averaged values over the fatigue test data

FS parameters and fatigue life are well correlated forbase metal and welded metal for all loading conditions Thecorrelation of the MKBM parameters with the fatigue life forthe out-of-phase loading is greatly improved with respect toKBM especially for the welded-metal specimens under 90∘out-of-phase loading The improving predictions of the FSand MKBM parameters for out-of-phase loading conditionscan be attributed to the introduced stress term 120590119899max whichreflects the effect of the material additional cyclic hardeningdue to the nonproportionality of the cyclic loading onmultiaxial fatigue damage

A critical plane approach should be able to predict boththe fatigue life and the critical planes where cracks arepredicted to initiate [26 27] Comparison of theoreticalpredictions with experimental data allows evaluating thevalidity of a proposed critical plane approach However dueto the difficulties in defining cracking direction observedexperimentally due to the roughness of the crack surfacelimited work has been done in the evaluation of a criticalplane approach for predicting the cracking directions Jiang[26] investigated the cracking behavior predictions of FSmodel by using 35 thin-walled tubular specimens of S460Nsteel and found that only about 20 specimens are predictedcorrectly by the FS model for the cracking orientationswhich reveals that the predictions for the cracking directionsare far less desirable than the fatigue life predictions Thetime-consuming cracking behavior observation may have

6 Conclusions

The multiaxial cycle deformation and fatigue behavior ofQ235B mild carbon steel and its related welded metal are

experimentally investigated in the present paper The follow-ing conclusions can be drawn

(1) Significant additional cyclic hardening effect is ob-served for both base steel and welded metal underout-of-phase loading conditions Besides weldingproc-ess produces extra additional hardening com-pared with the base metal

(2) Fatigue strength under in-phase loading is slightlyhigher than that under uniaxial loading for both base

(3) Fatigue strength for welded-metal specimens isgreatly reduced compared with the base metal underthe same loading conditions and the fatigue lifereduction of the weldment increases with increasingapplied strain amplitudes

(4) The FS and the MKBM parameters show bettercorrelation with fatigue life for both base-metal andwelded-metal specimensThe good correlation can beattributed to the introduction of maximum normalstress acting on the critical plane which can reflectthe influence of the nonproportional hardening onmultiaxial fatigue damage

Crack initiation under uniaxial fatigue test is in thecircumferential direction as usual In the in-phase fatiguetest the patterns of the macroscopic crack are observedsimilar to that of uniaxial fatigue test For the 90∘ out-of-phase fatigue test the crack direction is irregular becausethemaximum principal stress direction changed with respectto the nonproportionality loading condition and the frac-ture shape of the macrocrack for 90∘ out-of-phase fatiguetest was jagged The crack patterns for base metal andwelded metal under in-phase and out-of-phase loadingconditions are shown in Figures 7 and 8 respective-ly

The fatigue experimental and analytical results for thebase-metal and welded-metal specimens under uniaxialin-phase and 90∘ out-of-phase loading are presented inTable 4 The table includes axial and shear stress and strainamplitudes maximum shear strain amplitude acting onthe maximum shear plane (critical plane) Δ120574max2 strainration the normal strain range acting on the critical planeΔ120576119899 maximum normal stress acting on the critical plane120590119899max and strain ration parameter 120582 for each fatiguetest

The relationships of equivalent strain parameters versusfatigue life under the investigated loading conditions areshown in Figure 10(a) for the base-metal specimens and inFigure 10(b) for the welded-metal specimens respectivelyIt can be seen that the fatigue life under in-phase loadingconditions is slightly longer than that under uniaxial loadingconditions for both base metal and welded metal whilethe fatigue life for 90∘ out-of-phase loading conditions issignificantly reduced for both base metal and welded metalcompared with the uniaxial case Therefore the followingconclusion can be drawn the equivalent strain parameter isnot well correlated with fatigue life in the case of out-of-phaseloading

Fatigue lives of base-metal and welded-metal specimenfor the three investigated loading conditions are compared inFigure 11 It can be observed that the fatigue life of welded-metal specimen is greatly reduced compared with that of basemetal under the same loading conditions and the fatiguelife reduction of weldment increases with increasing strainamplitude

5 Critical Plane Parameters

Three strain-based critical plane parameters which areadopted to correlate the fatigue life for the different loadingconditions are investigated in this section

Kandil-Brown-Miller [22] takes the linear combination ofthe shear and the normal strain ranges acting on the criticalplane as the fatigue parameter The correlation of the KBMparameters and fatigue lives can be obtained by employing

Fatemi and Socie [25] proposed a widely accepted criticalplane concept using the maximum normal stress which canreflect the effect of nonproportional cyclic additional harden-ing onmultiaxial fatigue damage to replace the normal strainin KBM parameter The Fatemi-Socie (FS) model can bewritten as

where 120590119899max is the maximum normal stress acting on thecritical plane 120590119910 is the yield strength for the investigated

materials 119896 is an experimental coefficient As an approxima-tion one may simply assume the experimental coefficient inFS model to be 10 [10]

Based on the FS critical plane concept Li and the coau-thors [4] developed a stress-correlated factor to consider theeffect of the nonproportional additional hardening on multi-axial fatigue damage which can be used to modify the KBMparameter The Modified KBM (MKBM) model can berewritten as

Δ120574max2 + (1 + 120590119899max120590119910 ) Δ1205761198992= [1205901015840119891119864 (2119873119891)119887 + 1205761015840119891 (2119873119891)119888](1 + 1205901015840119891120590119910 (2119873119891)

in-phase tests No correlation could be found for the 90∘out-of-phase loading condition It should be noted that theexperimental coefficient 119878 in KBM model is taken as 08 forthe base metal and 10 for the welded metal respectivelywhich are the averaged values over the fatigue test data

FS parameters and fatigue life are well correlated forbase metal and welded metal for all loading conditions Thecorrelation of the MKBM parameters with the fatigue life forthe out-of-phase loading is greatly improved with respect toKBM especially for the welded-metal specimens under 90∘out-of-phase loading The improving predictions of the FSand MKBM parameters for out-of-phase loading conditionscan be attributed to the introduced stress term 120590119899max whichreflects the effect of the material additional cyclic hardeningdue to the nonproportionality of the cyclic loading onmultiaxial fatigue damage

A critical plane approach should be able to predict boththe fatigue life and the critical planes where cracks arepredicted to initiate [26 27] Comparison of theoreticalpredictions with experimental data allows evaluating thevalidity of a proposed critical plane approach However dueto the difficulties in defining cracking direction observedexperimentally due to the roughness of the crack surfacelimited work has been done in the evaluation of a criticalplane approach for predicting the cracking directions Jiang[26] investigated the cracking behavior predictions of FSmodel by using 35 thin-walled tubular specimens of S460Nsteel and found that only about 20 specimens are predictedcorrectly by the FS model for the cracking orientationswhich reveals that the predictions for the cracking directionsare far less desirable than the fatigue life predictions Thetime-consuming cracking behavior observation may have

6 Conclusions

The multiaxial cycle deformation and fatigue behavior ofQ235B mild carbon steel and its related welded metal are

experimentally investigated in the present paper The follow-ing conclusions can be drawn

(1) Significant additional cyclic hardening effect is ob-served for both base steel and welded metal underout-of-phase loading conditions Besides weldingproc-ess produces extra additional hardening com-pared with the base metal

(2) Fatigue strength under in-phase loading is slightlyhigher than that under uniaxial loading for both base

(3) Fatigue strength for welded-metal specimens isgreatly reduced compared with the base metal underthe same loading conditions and the fatigue lifereduction of the weldment increases with increasingapplied strain amplitudes

(4) The FS and the MKBM parameters show bettercorrelation with fatigue life for both base-metal andwelded-metal specimensThe good correlation can beattributed to the introduction of maximum normalstress acting on the critical plane which can reflectthe influence of the nonproportional hardening onmultiaxial fatigue damage

for the 90∘ out-of-phase loading conditions are above thoserelative to the uniaxial loading case which indicates that asignificant additional cyclic hardening effect occurs for bothbase metal and welded metal under the out-of-phase loading

conditions It can be also seen that the stabilized cyclic stress-strain curves of the welded metal are over those of the basemetal under the same loading condition It can be concludedthat the welding process produces extra additional hardeningfor the weldment compared with the base metal

4 Fatigue Life Analysis

TheManson-Coffin equation in terms of the equivalent strainparameter for fatigue evaluation under uniaxial loading canbe written as [20ndash22]

Δ1205762 = 1205901015840119891119864 (2119873119891)119887 + 1205761015840119891 (2119873119891)119888 (3)

where Δ120576 is the equivalent von Mises strain range 119873119891 isthe cycle numbers to fatigue failure and 1205901015840119891 1205761015840119891 b and119888 are the fatigue strength coefficient the fatigue ductilitycoefficient the fatigue strength exponent and the fatigueductility exponent respectively The fatigue properties fittedby (3) for the base metal and welded metal under theuniaxial in-phase and 90∘ out-of-phase loading are listed inTable 5

The relationships of equivalent strain parameters versusfatigue life under the investigated loading conditions areshown in Figure 10(a) for the base-metal specimens and inFigure 10(b) for the welded-metal specimens respectivelyIt can be seen that the fatigue life under in-phase loadingconditions is slightly longer than that under uniaxial loadingconditions for both base metal and welded metal whilethe fatigue life for 90∘ out-of-phase loading conditions issignificantly reduced for both base metal and welded metalcompared with the uniaxial case Therefore the followingconclusion can be drawn the equivalent strain parameter isnot well correlated with fatigue life in the case of out-of-phaseloading

Fatigue lives of base-metal and welded-metal specimenfor the three investigated loading conditions are compared inFigure 11 It can be observed that the fatigue life of welded-metal specimen is greatly reduced compared with that of basemetal under the same loading conditions and the fatiguelife reduction of weldment increases with increasing strainamplitude

5 Critical Plane Parameters

Three strain-based critical plane parameters which areadopted to correlate the fatigue life for the different loadingconditions are investigated in this section

Kandil-Brown-Miller [22] takes the linear combination ofthe shear and the normal strain ranges acting on the criticalplane as the fatigue parameter The correlation of the KBMparameters and fatigue lives can be obtained by employing

Fatemi and Socie [25] proposed a widely accepted criticalplane concept using the maximum normal stress which canreflect the effect of nonproportional cyclic additional harden-ing onmultiaxial fatigue damage to replace the normal strainin KBM parameter The Fatemi-Socie (FS) model can bewritten as

where 120590119899max is the maximum normal stress acting on thecritical plane 120590119910 is the yield strength for the investigated

materials 119896 is an experimental coefficient As an approxima-tion one may simply assume the experimental coefficient inFS model to be 10 [10]

Based on the FS critical plane concept Li and the coau-thors [4] developed a stress-correlated factor to consider theeffect of the nonproportional additional hardening on multi-axial fatigue damage which can be used to modify the KBMparameter The Modified KBM (MKBM) model can berewritten as

Δ120574max2 + (1 + 120590119899max120590119910 ) Δ1205761198992= [1205901015840119891119864 (2119873119891)119887 + 1205761015840119891 (2119873119891)119888](1 + 1205901015840119891120590119910 (2119873119891)

in-phase tests No correlation could be found for the 90∘out-of-phase loading condition It should be noted that theexperimental coefficient 119878 in KBM model is taken as 08 forthe base metal and 10 for the welded metal respectivelywhich are the averaged values over the fatigue test data

FS parameters and fatigue life are well correlated forbase metal and welded metal for all loading conditions Thecorrelation of the MKBM parameters with the fatigue life forthe out-of-phase loading is greatly improved with respect toKBM especially for the welded-metal specimens under 90∘out-of-phase loading The improving predictions of the FSand MKBM parameters for out-of-phase loading conditionscan be attributed to the introduced stress term 120590119899max whichreflects the effect of the material additional cyclic hardeningdue to the nonproportionality of the cyclic loading onmultiaxial fatigue damage

A critical plane approach should be able to predict boththe fatigue life and the critical planes where cracks arepredicted to initiate [26 27] Comparison of theoreticalpredictions with experimental data allows evaluating thevalidity of a proposed critical plane approach However dueto the difficulties in defining cracking direction observedexperimentally due to the roughness of the crack surfacelimited work has been done in the evaluation of a criticalplane approach for predicting the cracking directions Jiang[26] investigated the cracking behavior predictions of FSmodel by using 35 thin-walled tubular specimens of S460Nsteel and found that only about 20 specimens are predictedcorrectly by the FS model for the cracking orientationswhich reveals that the predictions for the cracking directionsare far less desirable than the fatigue life predictions Thetime-consuming cracking behavior observation may have

6 Conclusions

The multiaxial cycle deformation and fatigue behavior ofQ235B mild carbon steel and its related welded metal are

experimentally investigated in the present paper The follow-ing conclusions can be drawn

(1) Significant additional cyclic hardening effect is ob-served for both base steel and welded metal underout-of-phase loading conditions Besides weldingproc-ess produces extra additional hardening com-pared with the base metal

(2) Fatigue strength under in-phase loading is slightlyhigher than that under uniaxial loading for both base

(3) Fatigue strength for welded-metal specimens isgreatly reduced compared with the base metal underthe same loading conditions and the fatigue lifereduction of the weldment increases with increasingapplied strain amplitudes

(4) The FS and the MKBM parameters show bettercorrelation with fatigue life for both base-metal andwelded-metal specimensThe good correlation can beattributed to the introduction of maximum normalstress acting on the critical plane which can reflectthe influence of the nonproportional hardening onmultiaxial fatigue damage

conditions It can be also seen that the stabilized cyclic stress-strain curves of the welded metal are over those of the basemetal under the same loading condition It can be concludedthat the welding process produces extra additional hardeningfor the weldment compared with the base metal

4 Fatigue Life Analysis

TheManson-Coffin equation in terms of the equivalent strainparameter for fatigue evaluation under uniaxial loading canbe written as [20ndash22]

Δ1205762 = 1205901015840119891119864 (2119873119891)119887 + 1205761015840119891 (2119873119891)119888 (3)

where Δ120576 is the equivalent von Mises strain range 119873119891 isthe cycle numbers to fatigue failure and 1205901015840119891 1205761015840119891 b and119888 are the fatigue strength coefficient the fatigue ductilitycoefficient the fatigue strength exponent and the fatigueductility exponent respectively The fatigue properties fittedby (3) for the base metal and welded metal under theuniaxial in-phase and 90∘ out-of-phase loading are listed inTable 5

The relationships of equivalent strain parameters versusfatigue life under the investigated loading conditions areshown in Figure 10(a) for the base-metal specimens and inFigure 10(b) for the welded-metal specimens respectivelyIt can be seen that the fatigue life under in-phase loadingconditions is slightly longer than that under uniaxial loadingconditions for both base metal and welded metal whilethe fatigue life for 90∘ out-of-phase loading conditions issignificantly reduced for both base metal and welded metalcompared with the uniaxial case Therefore the followingconclusion can be drawn the equivalent strain parameter isnot well correlated with fatigue life in the case of out-of-phaseloading

Fatigue lives of base-metal and welded-metal specimenfor the three investigated loading conditions are compared inFigure 11 It can be observed that the fatigue life of welded-metal specimen is greatly reduced compared with that of basemetal under the same loading conditions and the fatiguelife reduction of weldment increases with increasing strainamplitude

5 Critical Plane Parameters

Three strain-based critical plane parameters which areadopted to correlate the fatigue life for the different loadingconditions are investigated in this section

Kandil-Brown-Miller [22] takes the linear combination ofthe shear and the normal strain ranges acting on the criticalplane as the fatigue parameter The correlation of the KBMparameters and fatigue lives can be obtained by employing

Fatemi and Socie [25] proposed a widely accepted criticalplane concept using the maximum normal stress which canreflect the effect of nonproportional cyclic additional harden-ing onmultiaxial fatigue damage to replace the normal strainin KBM parameter The Fatemi-Socie (FS) model can bewritten as

where 120590119899max is the maximum normal stress acting on thecritical plane 120590119910 is the yield strength for the investigated

materials 119896 is an experimental coefficient As an approxima-tion one may simply assume the experimental coefficient inFS model to be 10 [10]

Based on the FS critical plane concept Li and the coau-thors [4] developed a stress-correlated factor to consider theeffect of the nonproportional additional hardening on multi-axial fatigue damage which can be used to modify the KBMparameter The Modified KBM (MKBM) model can berewritten as

Δ120574max2 + (1 + 120590119899max120590119910 ) Δ1205761198992= [1205901015840119891119864 (2119873119891)119887 + 1205761015840119891 (2119873119891)119888](1 + 1205901015840119891120590119910 (2119873119891)

in-phase tests No correlation could be found for the 90∘out-of-phase loading condition It should be noted that theexperimental coefficient 119878 in KBM model is taken as 08 forthe base metal and 10 for the welded metal respectivelywhich are the averaged values over the fatigue test data

FS parameters and fatigue life are well correlated forbase metal and welded metal for all loading conditions Thecorrelation of the MKBM parameters with the fatigue life forthe out-of-phase loading is greatly improved with respect toKBM especially for the welded-metal specimens under 90∘out-of-phase loading The improving predictions of the FSand MKBM parameters for out-of-phase loading conditionscan be attributed to the introduced stress term 120590119899max whichreflects the effect of the material additional cyclic hardeningdue to the nonproportionality of the cyclic loading onmultiaxial fatigue damage

A critical plane approach should be able to predict boththe fatigue life and the critical planes where cracks arepredicted to initiate [26 27] Comparison of theoreticalpredictions with experimental data allows evaluating thevalidity of a proposed critical plane approach However dueto the difficulties in defining cracking direction observedexperimentally due to the roughness of the crack surfacelimited work has been done in the evaluation of a criticalplane approach for predicting the cracking directions Jiang[26] investigated the cracking behavior predictions of FSmodel by using 35 thin-walled tubular specimens of S460Nsteel and found that only about 20 specimens are predictedcorrectly by the FS model for the cracking orientationswhich reveals that the predictions for the cracking directionsare far less desirable than the fatigue life predictions Thetime-consuming cracking behavior observation may have

6 Conclusions

The multiaxial cycle deformation and fatigue behavior ofQ235B mild carbon steel and its related welded metal are

experimentally investigated in the present paper The follow-ing conclusions can be drawn

(1) Significant additional cyclic hardening effect is ob-served for both base steel and welded metal underout-of-phase loading conditions Besides weldingproc-ess produces extra additional hardening com-pared with the base metal

(2) Fatigue strength under in-phase loading is slightlyhigher than that under uniaxial loading for both base

(3) Fatigue strength for welded-metal specimens isgreatly reduced compared with the base metal underthe same loading conditions and the fatigue lifereduction of the weldment increases with increasingapplied strain amplitudes

(4) The FS and the MKBM parameters show bettercorrelation with fatigue life for both base-metal andwelded-metal specimensThe good correlation can beattributed to the introduction of maximum normalstress acting on the critical plane which can reflectthe influence of the nonproportional hardening onmultiaxial fatigue damage

Based on the FS critical plane concept Li and the coau-thors [4] developed a stress-correlated factor to consider theeffect of the nonproportional additional hardening on multi-axial fatigue damage which can be used to modify the KBMparameter The Modified KBM (MKBM) model can berewritten as

in-phase tests No correlation could be found for the 90∘out-of-phase loading condition It should be noted that theexperimental coefficient 119878 in KBM model is taken as 08 forthe base metal and 10 for the welded metal respectivelywhich are the averaged values over the fatigue test data

FS parameters and fatigue life are well correlated forbase metal and welded metal for all loading conditions Thecorrelation of the MKBM parameters with the fatigue life forthe out-of-phase loading is greatly improved with respect toKBM especially for the welded-metal specimens under 90∘out-of-phase loading The improving predictions of the FSand MKBM parameters for out-of-phase loading conditionscan be attributed to the introduced stress term 120590119899max whichreflects the effect of the material additional cyclic hardeningdue to the nonproportionality of the cyclic loading onmultiaxial fatigue damage

A critical plane approach should be able to predict boththe fatigue life and the critical planes where cracks arepredicted to initiate [26 27] Comparison of theoreticalpredictions with experimental data allows evaluating thevalidity of a proposed critical plane approach However dueto the difficulties in defining cracking direction observedexperimentally due to the roughness of the crack surfacelimited work has been done in the evaluation of a criticalplane approach for predicting the cracking directions Jiang[26] investigated the cracking behavior predictions of FSmodel by using 35 thin-walled tubular specimens of S460Nsteel and found that only about 20 specimens are predictedcorrectly by the FS model for the cracking orientationswhich reveals that the predictions for the cracking directionsare far less desirable than the fatigue life predictions Thetime-consuming cracking behavior observation may have

6 Conclusions

The multiaxial cycle deformation and fatigue behavior ofQ235B mild carbon steel and its related welded metal are

experimentally investigated in the present paper The follow-ing conclusions can be drawn

(1) Significant additional cyclic hardening effect is ob-served for both base steel and welded metal underout-of-phase loading conditions Besides weldingproc-ess produces extra additional hardening com-pared with the base metal

(2) Fatigue strength under in-phase loading is slightlyhigher than that under uniaxial loading for both base

(3) Fatigue strength for welded-metal specimens isgreatly reduced compared with the base metal underthe same loading conditions and the fatigue lifereduction of the weldment increases with increasingapplied strain amplitudes

(4) The FS and the MKBM parameters show bettercorrelation with fatigue life for both base-metal andwelded-metal specimensThe good correlation can beattributed to the introduction of maximum normalstress acting on the critical plane which can reflectthe influence of the nonproportional hardening onmultiaxial fatigue damage

in-phase tests No correlation could be found for the 90∘out-of-phase loading condition It should be noted that theexperimental coefficient 119878 in KBM model is taken as 08 forthe base metal and 10 for the welded metal respectivelywhich are the averaged values over the fatigue test data

FS parameters and fatigue life are well correlated forbase metal and welded metal for all loading conditions Thecorrelation of the MKBM parameters with the fatigue life forthe out-of-phase loading is greatly improved with respect toKBM especially for the welded-metal specimens under 90∘out-of-phase loading The improving predictions of the FSand MKBM parameters for out-of-phase loading conditionscan be attributed to the introduced stress term 120590119899max whichreflects the effect of the material additional cyclic hardeningdue to the nonproportionality of the cyclic loading onmultiaxial fatigue damage

A critical plane approach should be able to predict boththe fatigue life and the critical planes where cracks arepredicted to initiate [26 27] Comparison of theoreticalpredictions with experimental data allows evaluating thevalidity of a proposed critical plane approach However dueto the difficulties in defining cracking direction observedexperimentally due to the roughness of the crack surfacelimited work has been done in the evaluation of a criticalplane approach for predicting the cracking directions Jiang[26] investigated the cracking behavior predictions of FSmodel by using 35 thin-walled tubular specimens of S460Nsteel and found that only about 20 specimens are predictedcorrectly by the FS model for the cracking orientationswhich reveals that the predictions for the cracking directionsare far less desirable than the fatigue life predictions Thetime-consuming cracking behavior observation may have

6 Conclusions

The multiaxial cycle deformation and fatigue behavior ofQ235B mild carbon steel and its related welded metal are

experimentally investigated in the present paper The follow-ing conclusions can be drawn

(1) Significant additional cyclic hardening effect is ob-served for both base steel and welded metal underout-of-phase loading conditions Besides weldingproc-ess produces extra additional hardening com-pared with the base metal

(2) Fatigue strength under in-phase loading is slightlyhigher than that under uniaxial loading for both base

(3) Fatigue strength for welded-metal specimens isgreatly reduced compared with the base metal underthe same loading conditions and the fatigue lifereduction of the weldment increases with increasingapplied strain amplitudes

(4) The FS and the MKBM parameters show bettercorrelation with fatigue life for both base-metal andwelded-metal specimensThe good correlation can beattributed to the introduction of maximum normalstress acting on the critical plane which can reflectthe influence of the nonproportional hardening onmultiaxial fatigue damage

prevented more detailed work on the cracking directionexaminations [26] Accordingly it is worth pointing out thatthe predictions for cracking directions using different criticalplane models certainly warrant investigations in the future

6 Conclusions

The multiaxial cycle deformation and fatigue behavior ofQ235B mild carbon steel and its related welded metal are

experimentally investigated in the present paper The follow-ing conclusions can be drawn

(1) Significant additional cyclic hardening effect is ob-served for both base steel and welded metal underout-of-phase loading conditions Besides weldingproc-ess produces extra additional hardening com-pared with the base metal

(2) Fatigue strength under in-phase loading is slightlyhigher than that under uniaxial loading for both base

metal and welded metal while the fatigue strengthunder 90∘ out-of-phase loading is significantly re-duced

(3) Fatigue strength for welded-metal specimens isgreatly reduced compared with the base metal underthe same loading conditions and the fatigue lifereduction of the weldment increases with increasingapplied strain amplitudes

(4) The FS and the MKBM parameters show bettercorrelation with fatigue life for both base-metal andwelded-metal specimensThe good correlation can beattributed to the introduction of maximum normalstress acting on the critical plane which can reflectthe influence of the nonproportional hardening onmultiaxial fatigue damage
