Abstract The aim of the present work is to propose a generalized strain energy density exhaustion model to predict the creep-fatigue lives. The oxidation damage, which is described by a correction factor representing the non-linear oxidation damage mechanism, is considered in the proposed model. All the 77 experimental data sets of GH4169 superalloy at 650 °C, Inconel 738 superalloy at 850 °C and P91 steel at 550 °C in both tension-hold-only and compression-hold-only tests are used to validate the prediction capabilities of the model. The fatigue, creep and oxidation damages per cycle are separately calculated. Then a three-dimensional damage interaction diagram combined with a suitable enveloping surface is proposed.
