Description
Summary:A low-cycle fatigue (LCF) analysis is one of the main design stages for highly loaded structural elements used in various applications. For this analysis, it is necessary to determine the values of local stresses and deformations, taking into account both elastic and plastic regions in the zones of stress concentration. This study presents and assesses the engineering methods used for prediction of low-cycle fatigue in structural elements. For zones of stress (strain) concentration, the Neuber-Makhutov method for LCF, taking into account the type of material stress-strain diagrams, is employed. The concept of distributed damage, based on the main ideas of the continuum damage mechanics of Kachanov-Rabotnov, was used. An approach employing the damage parameter for assessment of damage accumulation in LCF in highly loaded areas of structural elements is presented.
