IIW Guidelines on Weld Quality in Relationship to Fatigue Strength

Part of the book series: IIW Collection ((IIWC))

Abstract

Assessment of welds not meeting “standard” requirements may sometimes be of interest to investigate. An example is to determine the fatigue life from a found crack-like defect to failure. It is recommended to use local-based methods, such as the effective notch method or the fracture mechanics method with the guidance of well-established recommendations as, e.g., BS 7910 or comparable ones.
