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 (

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 one or the other of the various approaches for the assessment of the fatigue strength of welds could be applied. In complex, real situations even the highly sophisticated effective notch stress approach might loose its applicability. A new alternative approach is proposed for these situations. It is based on stresses in real notches and an example is presented for the familiar case of a startβstop position.

fatigue strength characteristic values for spot welded joints are compiled in the form of endurable local strains, structural stresses and stress intensity factors on the basis of an evaluation of published material. Such stress or strain amplitudes endured dependent on number of cycles are hitherto
## 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,
Diffusion welding represents an attractive joining technology. This paper deals with joining Al to Ti. Initial investigations were performed on Al99.5 and cpβTi in order to understand the diffusion process for technically pure materials. In further investigations AA5xxx and AA6xxx were joined with c
