Abstract: In this paper, the tension-torsion specimens were used
as researching subjects.The cyclic stress-strain relation under multiaxial proportional
and nonproportional loading was studied according to the characteristic of the stress and
strain on the multiaxial critical plane and the researching results of multiaxial critical
plane principle. A multiaxial cyclic constitutive relation model under proportional
loading was first derived based on the uniaxial cyclic stress-strainrelation, and then a
multiaxial cyclic constitutive relation under nonproportional loading was obtained by the
varying behaviour of the normal strain and the maximum shear strain on the critical plane.
The experiments of tension-torsion proportional and nonproportional cyclic loading were
conducted to verify the model. The prediction of the model agrees with the experimental
results reasonably well.
Keywords: proportional cyclic loading, nonproportional cyclic loading,
multiaxial fatigue, cyclic stress-strain relation.
