Description:
This webinar discusses factors related to calculating weld fatigue including:
- How to approach weld fatigue analysis using both traditional code-based methods and finite element analysis methods.
- Fatigue assessments are critical to cyclically loaded structures.
- Fatigue life prediction can be particularly challenging in welded structures.
- Welded joints contain residual stresses, material property changes, and other factors which add significant complexity to the fatigue problem.
