16、Note, the stress state near the critical location is not far from uniaxial (.1.2), which gives an added measure of confidence since the material properties are uniaxial. Recall, a biaxiality of zero corresponds to uniaxial stress, a value of 1 corresponds to pure shear, and a value of 1 corresponds
17、to a pure biaxial state.,. . . Results,August 26, 2005 Inventory #002266 WSA12.1-22,Insert a second fatigue tool to analyze a random load of 4500N.

Results,Although, from the previous slide, one saw that most of the counts were for the low mean and range bins, these do not cause the most damage at the critical location, as shown in this damage matrix. Instead, the medium stress amplitude cycles cause the most damage at the critical location.,
