## Abstract Only for steels up to grade S690QL the wellβknown fact is confirmed that the fatigue strength of welded joints is independent of the material. For higher strength steels a remarkable reduction of the fatigue strength is found. Some advice is given for designers in which situations the

β¦ Synopsis
Reports indicate that the joint geometry and loading configuration affect the crack growth behaviour of specimens. In an attempt to study the above effect, three specimen geometries are selected; cruciform joint under tension (CJT), side end notch under tension (SENT) and under three-point bending (SENB3) load. Results show that all three geometries have different fatigue strength and fracture mechanics parameters, although their weld-metal chemistry and mechanical properties are the same. Further tests are needed to establish this relationship quantitatively.

## Abstract The numerical fatigue assessment of seam welded joints is of significant importance in automotive industry. In order to use the fatigue concepts, which are available in the literature, in series calculations, they usually have to be implemented into commercial software programmes. In th
This paper discusses an approach for the fatigue analysis of spot-welded joints under variable amplitude load:ng. Two simplified relations, relating the nugget maximum load and metal thickness to the fatigue life of an entire durability schedule, are developed. A computer program is also developed,

## Abstract We investigate the effect of specimen geometry on the ultimate tensile strength of cortical bone measured by a tensile test. This article is motivated by the fact that there is no clear consensus in the literature on a suitable specimen shape for cortical bone testing. We consider three
