Overview

Local approaches of fatigue assessment have become an indispensable design tool for the layout and dimensioning of welded structures. This book reviews the available local approaches, the hot spot structural stress approach, the notch stress and strain approach, and the fracture mechanics approach. The presentation includes spot-welded and seam welded joints in both steel and aluminum. Examples are taken from such fields as offshore engineering, shipbuilding, structural engineering, pressure vessels, and automotive engineering. Fatigue Assessment of Welded Joints by Local Approaches is designed as a handbook for design engineers and structural analysts.
