Micromechanical analyses of various materials under high cycle fatigue (HCF) loading have been investigated previously. Experimental findings have shown that failure due to HCF occurred with different pattern comparing to the other loading conditions. The current work tries to carry out both experiments and simulations at micro scale. In this research, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and metallography images of the specimens are taken to investigate the failure and deformation patterns in dual phase (DP) steel under high cycle fatigue loading. Failure mechanisms of DP steels are also predicted using a real representative volume element (RVE) and microstructural finite element (FE) modeling. The linear damage accumulation rule (Miner's damage rule) is used to determine the material degradation due to fatigue loading. The cyclic loading is implemented in the FE model of the microstructure by developing ANSYS parametric design language (APDL) code to obtain the damage, failure pattern and fatigue life of the RVE. It is also shown that the finite element modeling of the real RVE considering both plasticity and fatigue damage leads to acceptable compatibility between the obtained cracking patterns from SEM images (experiments) and finite element predictions.
