Abstract Considering variable resistivity, the formula of damage variable by means of the electrical resistance is obtained. The two models—homogeneous damage omitting resistivity changes and inhomogeneous damage considering variable resistivity—are compared. The results show that the predictions of resistance accord with the test data. And the influence of damage on resistivity of metal materials is discussed. The remaining life formula of the fatigue damage of metal materials is obtained.
