A spectral method for the determination of the critical plane is proposed for metallic material under random vibration loadings based on the criterion of maximum shear stress amplitude, where the direction of critical plane is obtained by solving the maximum value of a function using mathematical optimization method and the fatigue critical location of the structure can be determined. A multiaxial fatigue damage parameter is proposed for combined random vibration loading and mean stress loading cases based on Susmel’s criterion, which is a Power Spectral Density(PSD) of the equivalent shear stress and can be adopted for fatigue life evaluation. The fatigue life estimation of structures under multiaxial random vibration loadings with mean stresses in the frequency domain could be carried out based on this damage parameter constructed at the fatigue critical location with the spectral method for random vibration fatigue life. The multiaxial random vibration fatigue experiment with mean stress loadings is conducted on the notched plate specimens made of 2297-T87 aviation grade aluminum alloy, and the initiation sites of the fatigue cracks as well as the experimental fatigue lives are compared with those calculated by the proposed models, where satisfactory prediction capabilities on both the fatigue crack initiation locations and fatigue lives of the models are demonstrated.
