The specimens are geometrically designed to resemble actual subcomponents of forming and cutting dies for sheet metal manufacturing. These subcomponents have failed in the past.Experiments are carried out using a fictive load-time function, which is a modification of an actually measured load curve and has variable mean and amplitude values. This first test series serves as a general validation of a subsequent fatigue analysis. A second test series is carried out with constant mean and amplitude values with a load ratio 𝑅≈0. Here, the load frequencies in the individual test runs are varied between f = 5 Hz and f = 45 Hz in order to investigate the influence of the frequency. Both series are performed on a servo-hydraulic testing machine.The experimental data is then statistically evaluated. The values for the scatter correlate with data from the literature. The data from the test series with the fictive load-time function can thus be used for subsequent validation of a fatigue calculation, which will be addressed in a future publication. Most significant are the findings from the second series of experiments with varied load frequencies, as a significant frequency influence could be detected. Furthermore, the hardening and softening behavior under cyclic loading and the fracture behavior of the materials are analyzed and compared with data from the literature.

To ensure a save design of components, durability analyses are intended. For this, simulation results from FE analyses are necessary. Therefore, it is desirable to use elements with quadratic function, because of a good stress approximation.The goal of the described investigation is to show if calculation results created by LS-DYNA [1] can be used for durability analyses. Especially the use of quadratic elements is investigated. For the evaluation, on the one hand explicit FE analyses of a special durability test are carried out. These analyses are validated by available test data. To create results for later durability analyses further FE analyses with implicit time discretisation are carried out. In this paper results of the investigations are presented and evaluated critically.
