Recent developments in engineering and technology have brought about serious and
enlarged demands for reliability, safety and economy in wide range of fields such as …

A high cycle fatigue life prediction model based on continuum damage mechanics, crystal
plasticity and critical distance theory is developed. A novel damage evolution law for …

A formulation for anisotropic damage is established in the framework of the principle of strain
equivalence. The damage variable is still related to the surface density of microcracks and …

A phase-field approach was used in order to model the complex mechanisms of fatigue
crack nucleation and growth. This popular method enables a flexible framework that …

The ductile type of damage is a phenomenon now well understood. Once the fully coupled
set of constitutive equations is identified, Damage Mechanics is a powerful tool to predict …

A thermodynamically-based constitutive model is proposed for isotropic homogeneous
thermoplastic polymers under arbitrary multiaxial and non-monotonic loadings. The model …

Continuum damage mechanics can be used to model the initiation and growth of fatigue
cracks. However, finite element analyses using standard fatigue damage formulations …

It is proposed to develop and identify a probabilistic two‐scale model for HCF that accounts
for the failure of samples, but also for the thermal effects during cyclic loadings in a unified …

Miner's rule has been accepted as a simple and effective method for predicting the low cycle
fatigue life under variable strain amplitude. However, in an extremely large strain field …

For metallic materials, high-cycle fatigue life is sensitive to underlying microstructure
features including secondary phases, textures, grains morphology, etc. The traditional, data …
