Musial This paper examines the importance of load phase angle variations on fatigue damage and evaluates the potential effects of varying the load phase angle during dual-axis constant amplitude fatigue testing. The scope of this paper is limited to results from simulated...

... and do not include the static (one-cycle) strength data. The R -values used to construct this diagram were 0.5, 0.1, −1.0, 10 and 2, as well as the static ultimate tensile and compressive strengths, run at a displacement rate which was consistent with the fatigue tests. 11 Goodman diagram based...
