A Study of Metal Fatigue Failure as Inherent Features of Elastoplastic Constitutive Equations

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
From Creep Damage Mechanics to Homogenization Methods

Part of the book series: Advanced Structured Materials ((STRUCTMAT,volume 64))

Abstract

Elastoplastic constitutive equations in a novel sense are proposed toward a direct simulation of metal fatigue failure as inherent features of elastoplastic behavior from a fresh standpoint. Such equations are established with consideration of realizing a smooth transition from the elastic to the plastic state and, in particular, characterizing asymptotic loss of the stress-bearing capacity up to failure. It is demonstrated that certain salient features of both high and low cycle fatigue failure of metals under cyclic loadings may be derived as direct consequences from these simple equations.
