The energy dissipated to the surroundings as heat in a unit volume of material per cycle, Q, was recently proposed as fatigue damage index, and it was successfully applied to rationalise fatigue data obtained by carrying out stress-controlled and strain-controlled fatigue tests on AISI 304 L stainless steel plain and hole specimens. In this paper, it is shown that the Q parameter is independent on thermal and mechanical boundary conditions occurring during experiments. After that, additional stress-controlled fatigue tests on plain and notched specimens characterised by smaller notch tip radii than those tested previously have been performed. Present data have been compared with previous ones, and it was found that all available results can be synthesised in terms of the energy parameter Q into a unique scatter band, independently on the testing conditions (stress-controlled or strain-controlled) and on the specimens' geometry (plain or notched). About 100 data were included in the statistical analysis to characterise the energy-based scatter band of the material. Finally, some limitations of applicability of the experimental technique adopted in the present paper are discussed.
