The aim of this paper is to investigate different factors, including dwell time, strain range, and strain ratio on creep-fatigue endurances in nickel-based Inconel 718 and GH4169 superalloys. We also summarize classic approaches for life assessments based on the generalizations of Coffin–Manson equation, linear damage summation (LDS), and strain-range partitioning (SRP) method. Each approach does have some degree of success in dealing with a specific set of creep–fatigue data. In order to evaluate the prediction capabilities of the validated approaches, a Bayesian information criterion (BIC) allowing for maximum likelihood and principle of parsimony is used to select the best performing model.
