ig Dang Van criterion, Hodurance damsin or completing path
‘proposed criterion is set out using the current microscopic stress variables
caleulated at each time, based on the macroscopic stress cycle (engineering
stresses)
In particular, fatigue failure occurs when, ata given time, the combination
{c(0), pCO} (where ris the local shear stress and p the hydrostatic stress) cuts
the convex which defines the endurance domain. In fact, this endura
domain is bordered by two straight lines whose equation is (Ge Fig, 1)
Ho) = ap b= 0 w
As defined in this approach, various criteria involve two parameters. A.
review ofthis criterion is given in (4).
‘Comparison of diferent dansageeviter
In thisparagraph we compare the model proposed by Dang Van with two other
‘movlls; those of Sines (§) and Crossland (6). For the later two erteria, we of
course considera formulation derived from Fuchs idea (7) which is valid for
complex loading
‘The purpose ofthis comparison sto show the diferences of one model from
the other, and to propose tests which may lead to th elimination ofone of them
fora given material. For thiswe begin by identifying the fre coeficientsof cach

‘Tae stress coneition resulting fom fatigue loading may be uniaxial the residual
siress condition is always muldasial. When the designer of a mechanical
‘component containing residual stress wishes to predict the fatigue strengthof
the component, he must apply a caleulation criterion.
Based upon fatigue test results and stabilized residual stresses for induction

very high residual stresses into the hardened layer, esting in en inctease in
the volume of the martensitic structure in relation to the ferrite-pearlte
