The article deals with the technique of predicting the durability of structural materials under the influence of low-cycle loads at different loading trajectories in a two-dimensional stress space at a flat stress-strain state. The use of this technique significantly reduces the number of time-consuming and expensive experiments while maintaining the quality of the results. The technique is based on the method of processing acoustic emission signals when the acoustic signals are allocated with a fractal dimension of the attractor 1≤ D2att ≤6 on a steady-state cyclic creep that reflects the accumulation of hazardous defects in the structural material. To predict the durability at a certain type of stress-strain state, but at any form of a cycle of low-cycle loading by the proposed method, it is enough to have the results of experiments at the maximum intensity of stresses, the minimum intensity of stresses and the saw-tooth form of the cycle of stress intensity change.
