Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining the low-cycle fatigue of a mechanical component includes acquiring a plurality of cyclic operation conditions of a mechanical component in a plurality of operation cycles; for each of the plurality of operation cycles, calculating a Weibull proportional parameter on the basis of a corresponding cyclic operation condition from among the plurality of cyclic operation conditions; for each of the plurality of operation cycles, calculating the hazard rate of the mechanical component on the basis of the Weibull proportional parameter; and determining the low-cycle fatigue of the mechanical component on the basis of the hazard rate in the plurality of operation cycles, wherein the Weibull proportional parameter is used for describing the geometrical shape and the stress-strain state of the mechanical component.
