Abstract: The change of microstructure of fatigue specimens before and after laser radiation was studied by transmission electron microscopy.The results show that the diameter of dislocation cell λ tends to a constant at fatigue failure.Based on the principles of continuous damage mechanics,expressions of the fatigue damage criterion and processes of fatigue damage evolu- tion for L Y12CZ have been derived.

Key words: laser radiation, dislocation cell, fatigue, damage mechanics
