Influence of thickness on the fatigue resistance of thin welded joints – Bibliographic study
This bibliographic study (9Q345) looks at the influence of sheet metal thicknesses below 10 mm on the fatigue resistance of welded joints – angle, butt, lap and hollowsection joints – under bending and tensile stress, as well as at factors limiting potential improvement. It is aimed at many sectors: fabrication, pipework, agricultural machinery, construction, etc. that often use relatively thin sheet metal. Taking account of thickness when estimating fatigue strength, has a nonnegligible effect on the design of equipment and structures, the in-service life of which can be increased by reducing the thickness of the sheet metal through the use of HSS, with genuine economic advantages.
