Abstract: | In order to accumulate knowledge about how material compositions and manufacturing methods affect fatigue strength, this
paper investigates the relationship between the swiftness of the changes in the macroscopic indices of the crack initiation
process and the hardening properties of a material. This is done by calculating the cyclic deformation behavior of a f.c.c.
single crystal. The relationship between the swiftness of the changes and the crystal geometries is also examined by calculating
the deformation behavior of a f.c.c. crystal with a high Schmid factor buried in a large crystal with a low Schmid factor.
In addition, a multiscale hardening rule based on forest theory is developed in order to examine the microscopic mechanisms
of fatigue slip band (persistent slip bands, PSBs) formation. The validity of the theories presented is examined by comparing
the changing nature of the measured and calculated hysteresis loop shapes of f.c.c. single crystals. Inhomogenous slip deformation
through the crystal is also investigated, and inferences are then drawn about the microscopic mechanisms of cyclic hardening
and PSB formation.
