TY - JOUR A1 - Kindrachuk, Vitaliy A1 - Fedelich, Bernard A1 - Rehmer, Birgit A1 - Peter, Frauke T1 - Computational methods for lifetime prediction of metallic components under high-temperature fatigue T2 - Metals N2 - The issue of service life prediction of hot metallic components subjected to cyclic loadings is addressed. Two classes of lifetime models are considered, namely, the incremental lifetime rules and the parametric models governed by the fracture mechanics concept. Examples of application to an austenitic cast iron are presented. In addition, computational techniques to accelerate the time integration of the incremental models throughout the fatigue loading history are discussed. They efficiently solve problems where a stabilized response of a component is not observed, for example due to the plastic strain which is no longer completely reversed and accumulates throughout the fatigue history. The performance of such an accelerated Integration technique is demonstrated for a finite element simulation of a viscoplastic solid under repeating loading–unloading cycles.
