TLDR
In this paper, the effect of residual stresses on fatigue crack growth is investigated by paying attention to a fatigue crack that initiates at the weld metal and propagates perpendicular to the weld line, and the experimental results indicate that the crack growth rates are equivalent by use of the effective stress intensity range, based on the measurements of crack opening ratio.

Predicting fatigue crack growth rate in a welded butt joint: The role of effective R ratio in accounting for residual stress effect

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple and efficient method is presented for predicting fatigue crack growth rate in welded butt joints, based on the superposition rule of the linear elastic fracture mechanics, welding residual stress effect is accounted for by replacing the nominal stress ratio (R ) in the empirical laws by the effective stress intensity factor ratio ( R eff ).
