Numerical measures of the degree of non-proportionality of multiaxial fatigue loadings [PDF]
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2015 The influence of the non-proportional loadings on the fatigue life depends on the material ductility. Ductile materials react with a shortening of lifetime compared to proportional loading conditions.
