Interim fatigue design recommendations for fillet welded joints under complex loading
Current fatigue design methods for assessing welded steel structures under complex combined or multiaxial loading are known to be potentially unsafe. This has led to a number of research projects over the past 10 years. Some progress has been made in developing better methods, but they are not yet suitable for general design. This paper presents an interim solution based on a review and analysis of relevant published data; all referring to fatigue failure a fillet weld toe. These indicate that Eurocode 3/IIW S-N curve FAT80/3 (negative inverse slope of 3) is suitable for combined normal and shear stresses acting in phase, and possibly for out-of-phase (i.e. non-proportional loading) bending and shear if the shear stress is not due to torsion. However, a shallower curve FAT80/5 is necessary for out-of-phase torsion and bending or tension. Both curves are used in conjunction with the nominal maximum principal stress range occurring during the loading cycle.
