Fatigue crack initiation and propagation from defects in aluminium welds

Fatigue crack initiation and propagation in aluminium butt welds has been investigated. It is shown that the initiation of cracks from both buried defects and from the weld reinforcement may be quantified by predictive laws based on either linear elastio fracture mechanics, or on Neuber's rule...
