A novel Finite Fracture Mechanics approach to assess the lifetime of notched components

A.M. Mirzaei, P. Cornetti, A. Sapora

Abstract

A novel model is proposed to assess the fatigue lifetime of notched components under uniaxial loading conditions in the medium/high-cycle fatigue regime. It is based on the Finite Fracture Mechanics approach, previously proposed in static and fatigue limit frameworks, according to which failure occurs when a stress and an energy condition are simultaneously satisfied. Basquin’s equations are employed to catch the variation of input parameters based on SN data of a plain and a notched sample. The criterion is validated against various experimental data sets from the literature, encompassing different notch shapes, loading conditions and materials.
