Abstract
Several models from the literature were used to predict the fatigue limit in notched components subjected to biaxial cyclic loading. The predictions of these models are based on the elastic stresses along a line which is considered to be representative of the crack direction in its initial part. The line used in the models changes considerably. For one of the studied models, the line direction corresponds to Mode I, while for another it is Mode II, and for the other two models considered the direction is between Mode I and Mode II. However, quite naturally, the experimental crack direction is unique. In recent years, a study of experimental fatigue limits and crack directions in its initial part for three materials was carried out in hollow cylindrical specimens with a circular hole subjected to cyclic axial, torsional and in-phase biaxial loading. The directions of the cracks that were measured experimentally are on average similar for the three materials and close to Mode I. The analysed models give, in general, good predictions of the experimental fatigue limits, although they use directions that are completely different and that they too differ markedly from the experimentally found ones. The predictions of the models using, in a forced way, the measured experimental directions are good in most cases, which reveals a surprising insensitivity of these models to the main hypotheses on which their own formulations are based.
