A new vibration-based multiaxial fatigue testing methodology for assessing high cycle turbine engine material fatigue strength at various stress ratios is presented. The idea is to accumulate fatigue energy on a base-excited plate specimen at high frequency resonant modes and to complete a fatigue test in a much more efficient way at very low cost. The methodology consists of: (1) a topological design procedure, incorporating a finite element model, to characterize the shape of the specimens for ensuring the required stress state/pattern, (2) a vibration feedback empirical procedure for achieving the high cycle fatigue experiments with variable-amplitude loading, and finally (3) a yielding procedure for achieving various uniaxial stress ratios. The performance of the methodology is demonstrated by the experimental results from mild steel, 6061-T6 aluminum, and Ti-6Al-4V plate specimens subjected to fully reversed bending for both uniaxial and biaxial stress states. Results are compared with those produced using traditional fatigue test machines.

Multiaxial fatigue under variable amplitude loading is investigated using Kandil et al.’s parameter, rainflow cycle counting on the shear strain history, and the Miner-Palmgren damage rule. Fatigue data are obtained on tubular specimens of S45C steel under proportional and nonproportional tension-torsion loading. The approaches using the maximum shear strain range (Δγmax) plane and the maximum damage (Dmax) plane as the critical plane are investigated. The damage is computed for each reversal or for each cycle. The results show that both Δγmax and Dmax approaches yield acceptable fatigue lives irrespective of the damage computation method. Damage computation for each reversal tends to shift fatigue life toward the nonconservative side for some nonproportional loading. It is concluded that the overall procedure used in this study is viable for multiaxial life prediction under variable amplitude loading for the test material.

The main goal of this attempt is to explore and analyze the behavior of a material containing artificial surface defect and solicited under variable amplitude cyclic loading. The observation and the follow-up of the loading history and the characterization of the damage accumulation were evaluated in the presence of an artificial surface defect. The results made it possible to highlight a strong nonlinearity of the damage accumulation. However, the absence of sequence effects encountered in a defect-free material has been found. In the perspective of developing an approach to evaluate the influence of the defects on cumulative damage under variable amplitude loading, this work consists of coupling a multiaxial fatigue criterion adapted to defective materials with a law of uniaxial damage solicited under variable amplitudes loading. A cumulative damage law has been used to analyze the validity of the proposed method. Introducing the equivalent multiaxial fatigue stress due to the presence of the defect allowed us to predict the residual lifetime of a defective material, and to find the effects of sequences usually observed for variable amplitude loading for the defect-free material. A coherent agreement is observed between the results predicted by the improved model and those obtained from the experimental investigations on specimens containing artificial surface defect subjected to purely alternating tension and torsion under increasing and decreasing load levels.
