Fatigue design of welded joints and components : Recommendations of Iiw joint working group XIII - XV

Offers the recommendations that present general methods for the assessment of fatigue damage in welded components, which may affect the limit states of a structure, such as ultimate limit state and serviceability limited state. These recommendations present general methods for the assessment of fatigue damage in welded components, which may affect the limit states of a structure, such as ultimate limit state and serviceability limited state. Fatigue resistance data is given for welded components made of wrought or extruded products of ferritic/pearlitic or banitic structural steels up to fy = 700 Mpa and of aluminium alloys commonly used for welded structures "The aim of this work is to provide a basis for the design and analysis of welded components loaded by fluctuating forces, to avoid failure by fatigue. In addition, it should prove useful to other bodies who are establishing fatigue design codes." "The recommendations present general methods for the assessment of fatigue damage in welded components, which may affect the limit states of a structure. They provide fatigue resistance data for welded components made of wrought or extruded products of ferritic/pearlitic or bainitic structural steels with a yield strength up to 700MPa and of aluminium alloys commonly used for welded structures."--Jacket
