To predict fatigue life more accurately, we consider the relationship between static toughness and fatigue toughness in fatigue failure process, the numerical model of total dissipated plastic strain energy (TDPSE) and fatigue life is established. And considering the effect of surface roughness and surface processing coefficient on fatigue life, the life prediction method of TDPSE is modified. In addition, the fatigue life of Non-Masing and Masing materials are predicted by TDPSE and modified TDPSE method, respectively. Compared with TDPSE method, the life estimated by the modified TDPSE method are closer to the test results, and the modified TDPSE method lays a technical foundation for the development of mechanical components.
