In formula (11), eq is equivalent strain range; b is Basquins coefficient; c is fatigue ductility exponent; f is
Basquins fatigue strength coefficient; f is fatigue ductility coefficient and m is local mean stress.

Where max is the local maximum stress on the max plane, max / 2 is the maximum local strain amplitude. The
relation (12) is used for materials domaged by tensile
loading. Multi-axial loading can be consisted of shear (and
sometimes shear is dominated), in that case it is possible to
use relation proposed by Fatemi and Socie [ 2] :

Numerical Examples
To illustrate previous computation fatigue life procedure
various examples are included in this paper. These examples consider structural elements with notches under constant amplitude load and load spectrum. Crack initiation
lives of notched specimens subjected to axial loading with
the life prediction procedure described in the above section.The predicted and available experimental results of the
crack initiation lives of notched specimens are compared.
Example 1: Initial Fatigue Failure Analysis of Plate with
Hole Under Cyclic Loads
In this example, crack initiation fatigue life estimation
was carried out. The structural element was subject to constant amplitude loading and variable amplitude loading. As
a structural element we used the plane with central hole of
SAE 1045 steel, axially loaded. Characteristics of used material are as follows:
K = 812.53 MPa;
S y = 390 MPa;
b = - 0.067;
c = - 0.500;
f = 805.93 MPa; Su = 650 MPa;
f = 0.941;
E = 2.1 105 MPa;
Using material cyclic stress strain curve (4) and Neuber equation (eq.5), we can get the real stress and strain
spectrum. Then using the fatigue performance data, according to the structure specialty and fatigue accumulated damage model, we can obtain the fatigue life of the structure.
Here, we use Morrow criterion up to crack initiation. Obtained results were compared with available experimental
results. The results are shown in Table 2 and Fig.2.

Conclusion
This work defines an effective complete procedure to
predict fatigue life up to crack initiation. The presented
21
procedure includes into analysis cyclic elastic-plastic material behavior, nonlinear finite elements analysis and strain
life criteria. Additionally, this procedure considers the interaction between loads time history. Miners rule was
used to calculate the accumulative damage in the fatigue
crack initiation phase. This procedure is then applied to a
plate with a central hole (structural elements with concentrations), and the results were compared with analytical local strain method and available experimental data. Comparative results demonstrate that the fatigue life estimated
by the presented procedure closely approximates experimental results. Critical stress estimated with Neuber`s Rule
in this work is in close agreement with results obtained by
the finite element method. Compared with FEM, Neuber`s
Rule is much easier to use for estimating stress concentration.
It is very important to stress that presented procedure for
prediction of fatigue life up to crack initiation provides good correlation with experimental data even with low and
high fatigue domains.
Additionally, the above-mentioned procedure can be
used for complex structural elements (which contain geometric discontinuities). The defined procedure, for fatigue
life prediction of notched aircraft structural components up
to crack initiation, can take into consideration uni-axial and
multi-axial loading with constant and variable amplitude.
