Abstract
The fatigue damage accumulation behavior of GH4169 superalloy was
studied through two-level loading fatigue tests based on an
electromagnetic resonance testing machine. A total of 178 experimental
data points and 13 S-N curves were obtained. By comparing and
analyzing experimental data, the influence of stress and fatigue damage
in the first-level loading on the residual fatigue life of the material
was studied. The effect of first-level fatigue damage on the residual
fatigue life of different second-level stresses was explained. A new
fatigue damage accumulation rule was proposed and validated using
several nonlinear fatigue cumulative damage models. The results indicate
that this rule can serve as a criterion for evaluating the accuracy of
fatigue cumulative damage models.
