The analysis of fatigue behavior under multiaxial variable amplitude stress states, despite its wide applicability, has not been fully studied. Issues such as varying degrees of nonproportionality of the load history, cycle counting, damage accumulation, failure behavior of the material, and mean stress fluctuations which can significantly affect the results of these analyses have not been well understood. In this study, a methodology for the analysis of fatigue behavior under multiaxial variable amplitude loading conditions is employed which accounts for the aforementioned issues. At its core, the applied methodology uses critical plane analysis based on the failure behavior of each material to assess the fatigue damage. In order to evaluate the performance of the analysis method, axial, torsional, and combined axial‐torsional variable amplitude tests were performed on one ductile and one brittle behaving steel. The applied methodology resulted in close estimation of the experimental fatigue life for both ductile and brittle behaving steels.
