According to the cumulative damage theory, when the damage accumulation coefficient (generally denoted by D) is equal to 1, the material is damaged. When the material is subjected to a plurality of different stress cycles, the damage contribution for each cycle can be represented by a D value. Let N be the expected lifetime of a material at stress level S. Now, if the material has undergone m stress cycles at this stress level (each cycle corresponding to a loading of stress amplitude S), the damage contribution per cycle can be expressed as 1/N.

In the deformed material structure, the vector of the slip direction is s α, the vector of the slip plane normal direction is m α, and the relation between the unit vector of the slip direction and the unit vector of the slip plane normal direction of the initial structure is as follows:
Thus, there are:
The symmetrical part and the antisymmetric part are extracted in the decomposition of the velocity gradient tensor L, and the expression mode is as follows:

wherein:
the rotational deformation tensor W can be expressed as:
these equations constitute the basic description of crystal kinematics, which effectively relates the slip shear rate inside the crystal to the external macroscopic deformation rate.
From crystal plastic theory, slip deformation of crystals cannot affect the elastic deformation phase of crystal lattice, and thus constitutive equation of the elastic phase can be expressed as:
where L is defined as the modulus of elasticity tensor of the transient, Is Jaumann rate based on Kirchhoff stress tensor of the intermediate structure.
Wherein, the Jaumann rate of Cauchy stress based on initial structure:
So that the number of the parts to be processed,

(3) According to the cumulative damage theory, when the damage accumulation coefficient (generally denoted by D) is equal to 1, the material is damaged. When the material is subjected to a plurality of different stress cycles, the damage contribution for each cycle can be represented by a D value. Let N be the expected lifetime of a material at stress level S. Now, if the material has undergone m stress cycles at this stress level (each cycle corresponding to a loading of stress amplitude S), the damage contribution per cycle can be expressed as 1/N. Thus, after m cycles, the total damage accumulation coefficient D is:

FIP=ΔPcyc=Pcyc|N-Pcyc|N-1 (34)
(4) In the finite element calculation process, only the cell position where plastic deformation is most remarkable in the simulation process needs to be focused, and the cell position is regarded as a possible position for crack initiation. When the plastic shear strain at this location builds up beyond the critical plastic strain of the material, the material is considered to have undergone fatigue failure. The critical cumulative plastic shear strain P cri-fat at the time of crack initiation of the material was calculated from the single cycle plastic shear strain increase Δp cyc and the test fatigue crack initiation life N f for a cell location where plastic deformation was most pronounced under external load conditions, and the value was considered to be a material constant that did not change with changes in external load.
(5) Substituting the single-cycle plastic shear strain increment delta P cyc under different load actions calculated in the step (3) and the critical accumulated plastic shear strain P cri-fat during crack initiation into the formula (36) to calculate the fatigue crack initiation prediction life under the rest load actions.

FIPH=f(σ)*FIP (37)
The fatigue index factor FIP' (delta P cyc-H) of the material in the single cyclic loading process is the sum of the original FIP and the FIP H:
FIP'=FIP+FIPH (38)
when the hydrogen concentration in the material is 0, f (σ) =0, and FIP' =fip.
The expression for predicting the life of the test by using the fatigue index factor FIP' (Δp cyc-H) considering the effect of hydrogen charging is:
assuming that the cumulative plastic shear strain value P cri-H at material failure after charging is still a constant, when P cri-H reaches a critical value, the material fails and cracks initiate, and the critical value P cri-H is also determined by a fatigue test value of the charged sample, so the fatigue life prediction model of the charged sample is:
(8) Model verification, namely carrying out fatigue life prediction on a GH4169 high-temperature alloy under different load working conditions before and after room temperature hydrogen charging, comparing the fatigue crack initiation life prediction with test results, and verifying the accuracy of the model by using a cumulative damage theory to select plastic deformation as a fatigue indication factor and introducing a crack initiation life prediction model for correcting the damage of the hydrogen charging sample under the function f (sigma) of damage influenced by the stress magnitude, wherein the error is within a double error band, as can be seen from error band distribution diagrams of fig. 2 and 3.
