Description
Summary:The contribution deals with a research into the fatigue life of weld joints of AlMgSi07.F25 aluminium alloy. The paper will present unique biaxial testing equipment, process of preparation of specimen rods for fatigue tests, and the results of fatigue life assessment for the aluminium alloy during cyclic bending-torsion loading. Fatigue tests under constant amplitude loading were performed on a special electromechanical machine with a suitable clamping system. The obtained fatigue curves were compared with the most widely-known fatigue criteria such as LIU, F-S and B-M.
