Abstract

Heat energy dissipation is a manifestation of damage accumulation in fatigue loaded components. Once recognized that some mechanical energy has to be expended to fatigue a material, energy partition into heat and stored energy is thought of as a material property. Since most of the mechanical input energy is dissipated into heat, the stored energy is difficult to be measured as difference between the expended and the dissipated energy. In the present paper heat energy is assumed as an index of fatigue damage. Since it reflects the material response to external loading, it was seen to reduce the scatter of constant amplitude fatigue test results with respect to the use of the stress amplitude. Moreover, two level fatigue test results could be interpreted with an higher level of accuracy when the Miner’s rule was applied in terms of energy rather than stress
