State-of-the-art review of peak stress method for fatigue strength assessment of welded joints
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract In the fatigue design framework of welded structures, the peak stress method (PSM) is a rapid engineering, FE-based technique for estimating notch stress intensity factors (NSIFs). This review provides a theoretical background and applies the PSM to assess the fatigue strength of arc-welded joints made of aluminium alloys or structural steels, which are subjected to uniaxial and multiaxial fatigue loads. Because two fatigue design curves are available for each class of materials, a criterion for selecting the appropriate curve depending on the local biaxiality of the stress state is established.
