FATIGUE STRENGTH ASSESSMENT OF CRUCIFORM JOINTS
A large number of cruciform joints can be found in ship structures. In case of high dynamic loading, full or partial penetration welding is usually applied. The fatigue strength of this detail, with or without weld penetration, depends on several factors, including plate and weld throat thickness, width of the root gap as well as fabrication effects like weld shape and misalignment. The fatigue strength assessment is reviewed on the basis of earlier and more recent investigations on small scale test specimens and some large scale tests. Different approaches are also applied, which are able to consider relevant factors affecting fatigue life. As misalignment is a stochastic variable not know during design, a probabilistic approach is applied that allows its rational consideration in fatigue design.
