Abstract This paper reports on an attempt to systematically re-interpret the conventional multiaxial fatigue criteria in terms of the Theory of Critical Distances: in the present study the criteria proposed by Crossland, Dang Van, Papadopoulos, Matake, McDiarmid, respectively, and the so-called Modified W\"{o}hler Curve Method were considered. The procedure devised to re-interpret the above methods in terms of the Theory of Critical Distances was based on the following two assumptions: (i) the critical distance is a material constant to be determined under fully-reversed uniaxial fatigue loading; (ii) the presence of non-zero mean stresses as well as… More >
