Notches, nominal stresses, fatigue strength reduction factors and constant/variable amplitude multiaxial fatigue loading

This paper deals with the reformulation of Modified Wöhler Curve Method to make it suitable for being used along nominal stresses design notched components against constant/variable amplitude multiaxial fatigue loading. The accuracy this methodology is checked a large number experimental results taken from literature. outcomes performed validation exercise strongly support idea that proposed approach can safely be perform assessment structural components. holds true also when necessary strength reduction factors are estimated via standard, classic formulas.
