Based on critical plane approach, this article develops a new damage parameter through combing the equivalent strain energy aspect for multiaxial fatigue analysis, which includes no additional fitted parameters and overcomes the deficiency of using only equivalent stress/strain criterion separately under multiaxial loadings. Then, experimental data of GH4169, TC4, Al 7050-T7451 alloys under different loading conditions are applied for model validation and comparison with other four models. Results indicate that the proposed damage parameter yields better multiaxial fatigue life predictions than others.
