Abstract
Fatigue data for 25S-T aluminum alloy are presented for com pletely reversed cycles of bending, torsion and three different combinations thereof. The S-N diagrams of these data are presented in terms of the alternating principal shear stress T1,and shown to be express ible by the power relation Tl= BNa; where the exponent a is the same for each state of stress and the coefficient B varies with different states of stress. The merits of six theories of failure, relative to their agreement with these test data are discussed. The principal shear stress theory corrected for anisotropy and the octahedral shear stress theory best represented the data. Further consider ation was given to the physical significance of several of these theories, and to the possible effect of anisotropy on the fatigue behavior under combined stress.
