TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview on the current state of fracture mechanics application to weldments and discuss the specific features which any fracture mechanics analysis of weldments has to take into account.

TL;DR: The fatigue crack propagation threshold ΔKth is of paramount importance for any kind of damage tolerant design, but in contrast to this importance, the determination and application of the parameter is not on the firm ground as previously assumed.

TL;DR: A platform is developed for a data-driven analysis of continuum damage mechanics (CDM)-based fatigue life prediction of AM stainless steel (SS) 316L, in which the effects of AM process parameters are considered.

TL;DR: In this article, a multi-pass submerged arc welding was performed on the HSLA steels using multi-microalloyed electrodes in the present work, and three different heat input processes were employed to investigate the microstructure evolution and corresponding mechanical properties of weldments.

TL;DR: In this article, defects as root cause of fatigue failure are discussed, such as defects due to local damage during manufacturing, service and maintenance such as dents, scratches and localized corrosion.

TL;DR: In this article, the results of fatigue crack growth rate tests conducted in the presence of residual stresses are discussed with reference to experimental trends, in order to clarify the predictive capabilities of the method and aspects needing further investigation.
