The high‐cycle fatigue behaviour of metals under multiaxial loading is examined. By employing the weight function method, the authors propose to correlate the fatigue fracture plane orientation with the averaged principal stress directions. The results derived by applying such an approach are compared with the experimental data collected from the relevant literature, concerning different types of metals under in‐phase or out‐of‐phase sinusoidal biaxial normal and shear stress states. Theoretical results determined by McDiarmid are also reported.
