Nominal stres range fatigue of stainless steel fillet welds n cold-formed RHS

摘要

3-point bending nominal stress range fatigue of stainless steel fillet welds was shown to be in good agreement with suggested fatigue classes of Eurocode 3 design standard. However, if the size of the weld was increased. and the failure location could be moved to the weld toe instead of the weld root, a significant increase in fatigue strength was observed.
