Shape optimization computational technology is used in order to maximize life time of notched machine/structural components in low cycle fatigue regime. The present approach is composed of three steps: (i) stress–strain calculation using notch correction and plasticity models, (ii) estimation of critical plane to asses fatigue lives, (iii) formulation of the optimization problem with constraint set on the number of cycles corresponding to crack initiation. The optimal design procedure is a combination of the computer aided geometrical design mathematical methods for the shape definition, the boundary element method used for analysis of the response quantities, assisted by the sequential linear programming method with move limits. Numerical examples display significant increase in the number of cycles corresponding to crack initiation phase in comparison to traditional (regular) notch shapes.
