摘要: This paper investigates theoretically the influence of magnetization on fatigue life by using non-equilibrium statistical theory of fatigue fracture for metals. The fatigue microcrack growth rate is obtained from the dynamic equation of microcrack growth, where the influence of magnetization is described by an additional term in the potential energy of microcrack. The statistical value of fatigue life of metal under magnetic field is derived, which is expressed in terms of magnetic field and macrophysical as well as microphysical quantities. The fatigue life of AISI 4140 steel in static magnetic field from this theory is basically consistent with the experimental data.
