Accuracy of the predicting for creep-fatigue cyclic life based on parameters in a characteristic cycle

The purposes of the present work are to evaluate the prediction accuracy of characteristic cycle on creep-fatigue life prediction and to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of various models in tensile strain-dwell tests. The parameters of the first cycle, the 10% life, the half-life, and the characteristic cycle that we proposed (a turning point between the initial rapid softening and subsequent slight softening/hardening) are employed to...
