For this purpose, some samples were tested with U-shaped notches with different radii and depths and various orientations with respect to the loading directions under fatigue loads. Using the fatigue crack growth rates, the Paris law coefficients were obtained for the used material in different conditions. It was shown that these coefficients are independent of the geometry of the samples. Fatigue crack growth behaviors in the mixed mode tests were also in good agreement with the result of the numerical simulations. Predictions of the maximum tangential stress criterion and numerical simulation for the position of the crack initiation on the notch root were compared with the tested observations, which showed good agreement. The fatigue life of the test samples was compared with the analytical results provided by the Manson-Coffin law. It was shown that a 25% decrease in notch depth increases the fatigue life by 3 times, also, an increase of 0.5 mm in the notch radius increases the fatigue life by 40%. Finally, the fracture surface of the samples was checked using an optical microscope. This study showed that the fracture surfaces have one or two lateral shear lips and plane stress conditions were established.\u0000 \u0000REFERENCES\u0000[1] X.-L.

These conditions can significantly increase the occurrence of fatigue failure mechanisms. Therefore, this study focuses on investigating the low cycle fatigue (LCF) behavior of directionally-solidified alloy at two distinct temperatures, namely 600 °C and 800 °C. Strain-controlled LCF tests were conducted at the specified temperatures, utilizing constant total strain amplitudes of 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8%, and 1% under a totally reversed loading ratio (R = -1). The Coffin-Manson model, based on plastic deformation, along with a hysteresis energy-based criterion model, were employed to predict and evaluate fatigue life and LCF behavior. Notably, the hysteresis energy and Coffin-Manson models exhibited superior capability in predicting LCF life at 800 °C compared to 600 °C.\u0000 \u0000REFERENCES\u0000\u0000Salehnasab, J.

Therefore, in this paper, the authors conducted experimental tests to better underestand the mechanical behavior of superalloys Inconel 600. The experiments included tensile, fatigue, and creep tests. The material deformation and stress-strain behavior were measured. In addition the yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, elongation, and modulus of elasticity were captured. By illustrating the engineering and true stress-strain curves the Ramberg-Osgood relation were extracted. As a result of fatigue test, the relationship between strain amplitude and the number of cycles to failure for specimens were obtained. The creep tests were conducted at a constant temperature of 650℃. The strain-time data were collected, and the resulting creep strain-time curve were plotted for smooth samples under their respective stress conditions.\u0000 \u0000REFERENCES\u0000\u0000G.
