Abstract: This paper presents a modeling framework to describe the driving mechanisms of cyclic failure in brittle and ductile materials, including cyclic plasticity and fatigue crack growth. A variational model is devised using the energetic formulation for rate-independent systems, coupling a phase-field description of fatigue fracture to a cyclic plasticity model that includes multi-surface kinematic hardening, gradient-enhanced isotropic hardening/softening and ratcheting. The coupled model embeds two distinctive fatigue effects. The first captures the characteristic features of low-cycle fatigue, driven by the accumulation of plastic strains, while the second accounts for high-cycle fatigue, driven by free energy accumulation. The interplay between these mechanisms allows to describe a wide range of cyclic responses under both force loading and displacement loading, as shown in several numerical simulations. Moreover, the phase-field approach to fracture accounts for the initiation and propagation of fatigue-induced cracks.
