Abstract

First of all, the boom–panel model is constructed to describe the anisotropic damage evolution of continuum volume element. The constitutive relation of continuum volume element is represented by damage extent of the booms and panels. Furthermore, based on irreversible thermodynamics, damage evolution equations of boom and panel are constructed. The fatigue life prediction method for smooth specimen under the repeated loading with constant strain amplitude is constructed. By the theory of conservative integral in damage mechanics, the fatigue life prediction method for notched specimen under the repeated loading with constant amplitude is obtained. Using these methods, the material parameters of LC4CS aluminum alloy in the damage evolution equation can be obtained by the mean values of experimental fatigue curves of standard specimens with K_T = 1, K_T = 3, and K_T = 5. The computational results are in accordance with the experiment data.
