A traction force approach for fatigue assessment of complex welded structures

A new traction force approach (TFA) for weld root fatigue analysis of complex cruciform connections is introduced. The approach defines the local nominal weld stress by using a solid element model and connecting the welded parts only from the toe and root lines. This enables the peak weld forces to...
