This research focuses on the experimental investigation of the low-cycle fatigue characteristics of marine structural steel. The study aimed to explore the behavior of marine-grade steel under low-cycle fatigue conditions. The experimental parameters include the fatigue life of the material, crack propagation behavior, and a comprehensive analysis of mechanical properties associated with various loading conditions. Based on the experimental results, a low-cycle fatigue crack propagation rate model for marine structural steel plates was established using CTOD as a characterization parameter. The primary objective of this research is likely to enhance the durability and safety of maritime structures, providing valuable technical insights for the field of naval engineering.
