Synopsis

Local approaches to fatigue assessment are used to predict the structural durability of welded joints, to optimise their design and to evaluate unforeseen joint failures. This completely reworked second edition of a standard work provides a systematic survey of the principles and practical applications of the various methods. It covers the hot spot structural stress approach to fatigue in general, the notch stress and notch strain approach to crack initiation and the fracture mechanics approach to crack propagation. Seam-welded and spot-welded joints in structural steels and aluminium alloys are also considered.

Key Features: completely reworked second edition of a standard work providing a systematic survey of the principles and practical applications of the various methods; covers the hot spot structural stress approach to fatigue in general, the notch stress and notch strain approach to crack initiation and the fracture mechanics approach to crack propagation; written by a distinguished team of authors; a standard reference for designers, structural analysts and testing engineers.

Contents: Introduction; Nominal stress approach for welded joints; Structural stress or strain approach for seam-welded joints; Notch stress approach for seam-welded joints; Notch strain approach for seam-welded joints; Crack propagation approach for seam-welded joints; Notch stress intensity approach for seam-welded joints; Local approaches applied to a seam-welded tubular joint; Structural stress or strain approach for spot-welded and similar lap joints; Stress intensity approach for spot-welded and similar lap joints; Notch stress, notch strain and crack propagation approach for spot-welded and similar lap joints; Significance, limitations and potential of local approaches.
