The proposed approach is based on a special definition of the strain energy density parameter used for material fatigue property descriptions and, in the consequence, on the new algorithm of the fatigue machine control in the feedback loop. On the basis of fatigue tests under uniaxial tension-compression with the strain energy density parameter control it was proved that the fatigue characteristics in energy approach (Wa - N1) determined directly from the tests and indirectly from the Manson-Coffin relation (E,, - Nj) with the strain control for material showing cyclic stability are similar. However, for material cyclic hardening these characteristics differ significantly in high cycle fatigue regime.}, type={Article}, title={The fatigue characteristics of materials with the controlled strain energy density parameter}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/125008/PDF-MASTER/11_MECHANICAL_51_2004_3_Bedkowski_The_Fatigue.pdf}, keywords={energy fatigue characteristics, fatigue tests, energy parameter, Cyclic Loading, 10HNAP steel, PA6 aluminium}, }
