The effect of the local brittle zone (LBZ) on the critical crack tip displacement (CTOD) of a welded joint has been analysed and a theoretical model is established. It is shown that the CTOD depends not only on the toughness of the LBZ but also on the width and position of the LBZ intersected by the
