Fatigue assessment of welded joint is still far from being completely solved now, since many
influencing factors coexist and some important ones should be considered in the developed …

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 …

Accurate experimental determination of mode I notch stress intensity factors (NSIFs) of
various sharp V-notched configurations using strain gages plays an important role in notch …

In this work, a computationally efficient and simple approach is presented for the rapid
calculation of Notch Stress Intensity Factors due to pointed V-notches in isotropic and …

The main aim of this work is to propose a simple and highly accurate approach to evaluate
the stress concentration factor of notched solids under Mode 1 loading by using non‐regular …

In order to investigate the strengthening effect of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) on
the fatigue performance of cracked cruciform welded joints, numerical analyses and fatigue …

In this work, the possibility to use elemental quantities, computed from non-regular coarse
meshes, to assess Notch Stress Intensity Factors at pointed V-notches (with a notch opening …

The traditional solution of notch stress and N-SIF needs a refined numerical model, and the
corresponding results are affected by geometric parameters and mesh size. Based on the …
