Generalized SCF Formula of Out-of-Plane Gusset Welded Joints and Assessment of Fatigue Life Extension by Additional Weld

The existing <i>S-N</i> curves by effective notch stress to assess the fatigue life of gusset welded joints can result in reduced accuracy due to the oversimplification of bead geometries. The present work proposes the parametric formulae of stress concentration factor (SCF) for as-welde...
