Life assessment of welded joints using a critical plane approach

Abstract

In the present work the Fatemi-Socie approach is adopted in order to evaluate the fatigue strength of welded joints. This critical plane criterion has achieved good results in the nucleation life prediction concerning plain or notched components, however it has not been widely used in the assessment of welded joints. The aim of this work is to analyze the practical implementation issues related to this particular application and draw quantitative conclusions about the assessment procedure performance under those conditions.
