Abstract
In this study, the fatigue behavior of thin electrical steel sheets under cyclic loading is investigated. Results from strain-controlled and stress-controlled fatigue tests with different specimen geometries and different test setups are presented and compared with conventional testing methods. The results imply that conventional testing methods should be adjusted for testing thin electrical steel sheets because the fatigue life depends significantly on the test setup as well as the specimen geometry. Therefore, this study proposes an improved specimen geometry and test setup for stress- and strain-controlled fatigue tests of thin electrical steel sheets depending on the desired testing parameters.
