Abstract
The Lemaitre damage model is evaluated using fatigue test data from extruded AZ31B magnesium alloy. The experimental data were obtained from thin-walled tubular specimens subjected to tension–compression, torsion, proportional axial-torsion, and 90º out-of-phase axial-torsion. The Lemaitre model has a difficulty to correlate the data under cyclic torsion loading. A modified Lemaitre model, where the damage denominator depends on the stress triaxiality, correlates well all test data. A simple and fast method is described for determining the material constants in the model.
