In recent years, there has been a growing interest in exploring the resources of the Arctic
regions and an increase in shipping in regions with seasonal sub-zero temperatures. Such …

The peak stress method (PSM) allows a rapid application of the notch stress intensity factor
(NSIF) approach to the fatigue life assessment of welded structures, by employing the linear …

A review of nonlocal theories utilized in the fatigue and fracture modeling of solid structures
is addressed in this paper. Numerous papers have been studied for this purpose, and …

In the present paper, the critical distance method was used to evaluate the fatigue behaviour
of magnesium welded joints. The main objective of the study was to determine the …

In the present paper, a fatigue analysis for welded joints made of mild, and high-and ultra-
high-strength steel grades and post-weld-treated with grinding and combined grinding and …

The peak stress method (PSM) is a rapid, FE-oriented method to evaluate notch stress
intensity factors. In fatigue design of welded components, the PSM has been previously …

Fatigue strength of welded joints is typically independent of the parent material static
strength; however, there are two exceptions from this rule—post-weld treated joints and high …

This study investigates the fatigue performance of the welded details of an old disused steel
railway bridge. The Saimaa canal railway bridge was demolished after 60 years of service …

The notch stress approach is a quite valuable tool for the fatigue assessment of welded
joints. In historical view a huge number of variants have been investigated and FAT-values …

Abstract The Peak Stress Method (PSM) enables a rapid estimation of the notch stress
intensity factors (NSIFs) for the fatigue strength assessment of sharp V‐notches and notably …
