Application of selected multi-axial fatigue criteria are using fifth-dimensional space on the results of fatigue experiments

Abstract

The paper describes the experimental results obtained for the combined loading of the specimens in the region of high-cycle fatigue. The specimens were manufactured from common structural steel 11523.1. There has been realized a set of proportional and non-proportional experiments in the area of high-cycle fatigue for basic methods of loading, namely: tension/compression, bending and torsion and its mutual combinations. By selected experiments, the specimens were additionally loaded by constant inner/outer pressure and axial prestress for a various loading levels. Experiments were realized on testing machines, situated at author´s workplace. The experimental results were undergone to application of selected and known criteria of fatigue strength and subsequently carried out its modification according to the results. For gaining necessary input values for criteria of fatigue strength, there was a need to realize a FEM simulation of test specimens.
