ESDU 78023 plots the results of constant amplitude fatigue tests
drawn from the literature using the alternating stress in the
loaded plate in the plane of the weld toe against the endurance.
One graph plots all the data for as-welded joints with toe
failures; the data are for zero mean stress but show the effect of
varying plate thickness from 15 to 35 mm (0.6 to 1.4 in). For
joints with ground weld toes, data show the effect of mean stress
and plate thickness. A graph also compares the data with data from
ESDU 75016 for fatigue strength under axial loading. The effects of
residual and mean stresses, joint size and grinding on fatigue
performance are discussed, as are the effects of leg length and
weld penetration with, in that case, a graph showing their
influence on location of failure.
