Ps. Yang et Hj. Zhou, LOW-CYCLE IMPACT FATIGUE OF MILD-STEEL AND AUSTENITIC STAINLESS-STEEL, International journal of fatigue, 16(8), 1994, pp. 567-570
A study has been made of the low-cycle impact fatigue behaviours of lo
w-carbon steel and austenitic stainless steel including cyclic stress-
strain behaviour, cyclic hardening and fatigue life. Similarities and
dissimilarities in cyclic deformation and fatigue fracture between low
-cycle impact fatigue and ordinary low-cycle fatigue of the materials
are discussed. This gives evidence for the presence of a considerable
strain rate effect in low-cycle fatigue.
