Predictions Of Stress-Strain Curve And Fatigue Life For Aisi 316 Stainless Steel In Cyclic Straining, Liang-Hsiung Chou, Yung-Chuan Chiou, Chia-Chin Wu, Ying- Jen Huang

Journal of Marine Science and Technology

In this study, experimental observations have been performed to understand the cyclic stress-amplitude response, the cyclic hardening/softening characteristics and the cyclic fatigue properties of AISI 316 stainless steel. Based on the experimental observations, these results are found so that the tested AISI 316 stainless steel possesses cyclic hardening characteristics. The shape of the stable hysteresis loop is symmetrical in tension and compression. The Massing cyclic stress-strain behavior is obviously absent. For the case of the absence of the Massing behavior, the power-law type equation is successfully applied to simulate the shape of the stable hysteresis loop at all applied levels …
