Abstract
Based on the multi-axial fatigue life prediction model presented recently by the authors, in this note, a fatigue limit prediction equation for metallic materials under multi-axial loading is proposed. In the multi-axial fatigue life prediction model, the wildly used von Mises equivalent stress is taken as an equivalent fatigue mechanical quantity, and the multi-axial fatigue life prediction equation has the invariance of mathematical equation form. By applying the multi-axial fatigue life prediction equation without mean stress effect to fatigue limit case, a simple fatigue limit prediction equation can be obtained. By using a large number of experimental data of metallic materials reported in literature, it has been proven that the fatigue limit prediction equation is not only simple in computation but also high in accuracy.
