Crossland method

In: Multiaxial methods


Both Crossland [Cro56] and Sines [Sin55], [Sin59] published their works throughout the fifties of the last century. Their criteria are very much alike, utilizing the amplitude of second invariant of stress tensor deviator (which corresponds to the von Mises stress) as the basis. Another term is added to the equation in order to cope with the mean stress effect while Sines prefers the mean value of first invariant of stress tensor (i.e. hydrostatic stress), Crossland recommends use of its maximum value:

.

The coefficients aC and bC can be set through evaluation of the formulas at fatigue limits in torsion and tension:

The method is implemented into PragTic in the formulation referred by Papadopoulos et al. [PDG97]. The amplitude of the J2 term is set from a diameter of the minimum circumscribed hypersphere over the local load path converted to the Ilyushin's deviatoric space.

Crossland's and Sines' formulas can be seen used as sample criteria, but the Crosslands one is more successful (see [BPL03], [CS01], [PDG97], [FatLim Database]).
