Abstract
Abstract
Fatigue crack propagation theory is used to predict the performance of cruciform welds subjected to either axial or bending narrow band random loading. The predictions are shown to provide a general representation of two sets of test data. It is concluded that the method enables narrow band random loading fatigue data for welds to be extrapolated to longer endurances.
