Fatigue crack curvature under the weld toe in an offshore tubular joint

Experimental tests on offshore tubular joints show that fatigue cracks, as well as curving around the brace/chord intersection, curve under the weld toe as they propagate through the chord wall. However, when producing stress intensity factor solutions for tubular joints, this curvature is usually i...
