“…where W p is the cyclic plastic energy determined by Morrow's cyclic plastic energy dissipation formula given below (Marrow, 1965;Halford, 1966): Table 2 (Wong, 1984;Socie, 1987;Lin et al, 1992;Yahr, 1997;Meneghetti, 2007). In processes involving low-cycle fatigue, the entropy generation due to plastic deformation is dominant and the entropy generation due to heat conduction is negligible.…”
