Popis: To study fatigue damage on low cycle fatigue, tensile tests after fatigue were carried out using cylindrical specimens, and the relationship between the change of residual fracture ductility and the cycle ratio was investigated. The main results obtained are as follows : (1) Until the last stage of fatigue life (N/Nf=0.9 ; crack length 1.5 mm), the residual fracture ductility eFR did not decreased remarkably and the tensile fracture mode did not vary from cup & cone type. These results differ from previous studies using hourglass specimens. (2) The exhaustion of eFR is caused by two factors : One is the internal damage due to cyclic work hardening and the other is the surface damage due to small cracks. The degree of these damages is bath small. (3) Most of the fatigue damage on low cycle fatigue depends on the length of surface cracks.
