TLDR
In this paper, the authors used notch stress intensity factors (N-SIFs) to predict the fatigue behavior of mechanical components weakened by V-shaped re-entrant corners, where the singularity in the stress distribution makes any failure criterion based on elastic peak stress no longer applicable.

Fatigue strength of steel and aluminium welded joints based on generalised stress intensity factors and local strain energy values

TL;DR: In this article, the weld toe region is modelled as a sharp, zero radius, V-shaped notch and the intensity of asymptotic stress distributions obeying Williams' solution are quantified by means of the Notch Stress Intensity Factors (NSIFs).

Fatigue analysis of welded joints: state of development

Wolfgang Fricke
- 01 May 2003 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the literature on fatigue analysis of welded joints is reviewed, considering mainly papers and books published during the past 10-15 years, and not the behaviour of spot-welds, which is a very special field.
Book ChapterDOI

Fatigue and Fracture

TL;DR: In this article, the suitability and uncertainty of physical models were considered for crack initiation and growth under cyclic loading as well as unstable crack propagation and tearing in ship and offshore structures and due attention was paid to practical application and statistical description of fracture control methods in design, fabrication and service.
Journal ArticleDOI

A generalized stress intensity factor to be applied to rounded V-shaped notches

TL;DR: In this article, a generalized form for the notch stress intensity factors, in which not only the opening angle but also the tip radius dimension is explicitly involved, is given. But the authors do not consider the case of sharp V-shaped notches.

Some advantages derived from the use of the strain energy density over a control volume in fatigue strength assessments of welded joints

TL;DR: In this article, the notch stress intensity approach to the fatigue assessment of welded joints is modelled as a sharp V-notch, ρ = 0, and local stress distributions in plane configurations are given on the basis of the relevant mode I and mode II notchstress intensity factors (NSIFs).

Stress Singularities Resulting From Various Boundary Conditions in Angular Corners of Plates in Extension

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated three boundary conditions on the radial edges: free-free, clamped-clamped, and clamped free, and showed that the free free extensional plate behaves locally at the origin exactly the same as a clampedclamped plate in bending, independent of Poisson's ratio.

A finite-volume-energy based approach to predict the static and fatigue behavior of components with sharp V-shaped notches

TL;DR: In this article, an energetic approach is proposed to predict the static and fatigue behavior of components weakened by sharp reentrant corners, where the energy in a small volume of material surrounding the notch tip has a finite value and such a value is thought of as the entity that controls the failure.

Fatigue Assessment of Welded Joints by Local Approaches

TL;DR: Local approaches applied to a seam-welded tubular joint are discussed in this paper, where the authors present a structural stress or strain approach for welded joints and a notch strain or crack propagation approach for seam welded lap joints.

A notch intensity factor approach to the stress analysis of welds

TL;DR: In this paper, a stress field approach based on notch stress intensity factors is presented with the aim of describing stress distributions in the neighbourhood of weld toes, since fatigue strength is dependent on such distributions.
