The principles of physical mesomechanics and synergetics, provides for a measure of energy involved in the ability of a material to resist deformation and fatigue cracking used for introducing a concept of equivalent stress and stress intensity factor in Mode I crack opening of fatigued metals. Acquired under the standard test conditions, the curves of unidirectional tension and those of fatigue duration and of crack-growth kinetics show themselves applicable as universal master-diagrams descriptive of the material behavior though under multiparametric loading. Specimen patterns of fracture, revealed by the test pieces of metallic alloys given to asymmetrical biaxial loading or multiparametric loading, passed careful research. In the biaxial case, this research facilitated finding of the view of the correction function for the level of equivalent stress and, in the multi-axial case, employing of the above subject ideas to ascertain the very level of equivalent stress.
