Cyclic Plasticity and Low-Cycle Fatigue of an AISI 316L Stainless Steel Tested at Room Temperature

none6This paper presents experimental results aimed at characterizing and modeling the elastoplastic cyclic response and low-cycle fatigue behavior of an AISI 316L stainless steel, subjected to strain-controlled tests at room temperature. Experimental data are used to calibrate kinematic and isotropic plasticity models, as well as the Manson–Coffin equation, which is compared to design strain-life curves at 5% failure probability estimated by four statistical methods (deterministic, “equivalent prediction interval,” univariate tolerance interval, and Owen’s tolerance interval for regression).mixedBenasciutti D.; Pelegatti M.; Lanzutti A.; Salvati E.; Novak J.S.; De Bona F.Benasciutti, D.; Pelegatti, M.; Lanzutti, A.; Salvati, E.; Novak, J.
