Limited Stress Surface Model for Bending and Torsion Fatigue Loading with the Mean Load Value.

In this study, a linear model of the transformation of the stress amplitude due to the mean value was used. The coefficient of the material sensitivity to cycle asymmetry with consideration of the dependence of this coefficient on the number of fatigue loading cycles is also used. A three-parameter surface model of limited stresses is proposed in this paper. The model is verified using the results of fatigue tests for cyclic bending and torsion under mean loads. The tests are performed for two types of alloy steels-S355J0 and S355J2G1W. Comparison of the allowable stress amplitudes obtained experimentally with those predicted using the proposed model shows errors of no more than 18%, with the area of the surface with the largest error being relatively small.
