The aim of this paper is to investigate the effects of weld toe grinding and weld profiling on
the fatigue strength of welded joints and the main influencing factors. Thus, experimental test …

The paper provides an application of the IBESS approach to the investigation of the
influence of various parameters of the global and local weld geometry as well as material …

The joining by welding processes of components is usually related to the creation of
additional notches and geometrical peculiarities. Multiple investigations have shown that a …

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 …

Welded metallic structures are usually prone to different forms of degradation in the
mechanical properties during their life span such as fatigue. Tungsten Inert Gas remelting is …

This paper presents a comparison of three post-weld treatments for fatigue life improvement
of welded joints. The objective is to determine the most suitable post-weld treatment for …

In order to ensure high weld qualities and structural integrity of engineering structures, it is
crucial to detect areas of high stress concentrations along weld seams. Traditional …

Fatigue strength assessment methods by local approaches are widely used in the literature.
This paper provides a comprehensive evaluation of published data for welded steel joints …

Welded joints show large variation of the weld toe geometry along the weld seam, which is
one important reason for the comparably large scatter in fatigue life. Therefore, it is crucial to …

Commonly, to evaluate the influence of the local weld geometry in fatigue test, small-scale
specimens are used, assuming those represent a longer weld adequately. In this study, a …
