FATIGUE PHENOMENA IN WELDED CONNECTIONS OF BRIDGES AND CRANES. GRAPHICAL AND ANALYTICAL EVALUATION OF FATIGUE STRENGTH DATA FOR WELDED CONNECTIONS

Results of fatigue tests are evaluated on a uniform basis, using the normalised Wohler line for welded joints in structural steel. The graphical method hitherto used and a newly developed analytical method are applied, both methods being described. The investigations refer to bar-like specimens and specimens resembling structural members. Significant statements concern: the slope of the Wohler line, the scatter of stresses and endurances, the cut-off of the Wohler line. The results of both methods differ to some extent. A comparison with other results has been included.
