Abstract: This article presents the results of a simulation in which smooth cylindrical and ring-notched samples were subjected to monotonic and fatigue loads in an ultra-short-life range, made of Inconel 718 super alloy. The samples displayed different behaviors as a result of different geometries that introduced varying levels of stress triaxiality and loading methods. The simulations used the Wierzbicki–Bai model, which took into account the influence of stress tensors and stress-deviator invariants on the behavior of the material. The difference in the behaviors of the smoothed and notched specimens subjected to tensile and fatigue loads were identified and described. The numerical results were qualitatively supported by the results of the experiments presented in the literature.
