An energetic method is proposed to rapidly evaluate the macro- and microfatigue behavior of aluminum alloy in high-cycle fatigue. The theoretical correlation between the thermal signal and the energy dissipation during the fatigue process is established for the irreversible dissipation mechanism description. The energetic method is applied to predict the fatigue strength and the entire fatigue life of the aluminum alloy. Moreover, the energy dissipation is properly used to evaluate the microplastic behavior at the grain scale, which is responsible for the progressive movements of the internal microstructures. Experiments were carried out to validate the current energetic method, and good agreement was obtained between the predicted results and the traditional results. Thus, the current energetic method is confirmed to be promising for the macro and micro high-cycle fatigue behavior assessment.
