UIT significantly improved the fatigue lives of the welded specimens in all cases.
Also, a structural stress model based on the beam bending theory is adopted to estimate the fatigue lives of the welds.
Using the local stress and strain obtained from finite element analysis, fatigue lives of spot welds were predicted with Morrow's modified Manson Coffin equation and Smith Watson Topper damage equation.
The results indicate that the fatigue crack growth model can predict reasonably well the fatigue lives of spot welds based on the global stress intensity factor solutions and the assumed material constants in the Paris law for fatigue crack growth.
A kinked fatigue crack growth model based on the stress intensity factor solutions for finite kinked cracks and a structural stress model based on the closed-form structural stress solutions at the critical locations of the welds are adopted to estimate the fatigue lives of both types of welds.
