Abstract:
A cyclic plasticity model is used into finite element (FE)
method to obtain the details of elastic-plastic stress-strain in
the bolts under cyclic axial loading. Two criteria in multiaxial
fatigue are employed to predict fatigue lives of bolts. The
predicted fatigue lives are in favorable agreement with the
experimental results for machined bolts.
Key words:
