Ultrasonic very high cycle fatigue testing finds many advantages in fatigue studies especially in very low fatigue crack growth rate investigations. In this application, the determination of the stress intensity factor has a key role and presenting a general approach to calculate stress intensity factor in reasonable time and ultimate accuracy is necessary. The present research proposes a new numerical approach (hybrid method) based on reduce order modeling (dynamic substructuring), multi-harmonic balance method, and M-integral to evaluate stress intensity factors under very high cycle fatigue testing in the most accurate and fast way possible. The verification of the hybrid method was done through a benchmark and implicit solver implemented in ABAQUS commercial software as the reference solution. Investigations proved that the presented hybrid method here could determine stress intensity factor in ultrasonic regime with the ultimate accuracy and save computational time at least 50%.
