A creep-fatigue life prediction model considering multi-factor coupling effect

Abstract A creep-fatigue life prediction model based on a novel creep damage evaluation method (NCDEM) considering the multi-factor coupling effect is presented in this paper. Further, to verify the validity and practicability, the creep-fatigue life of GH4169 at 650 °C is calculated to compare with the experimental results. Ultimately, the prediction results are respectively compared with those of the creep-fatigue life prediction models based on the time fraction method (TFM), ductility exhaustion method (DEM), and strain energy density exhaustion method (SEDEM). Consequently, the prediction results are distributed in ±1.5 times dispersion band, which elucidates the creep-fatigue life prediction model proposed based on the NCDEM has the best ability.
