How to estimate fatique in welded connection

How to estimate fatique in welded connection

How to estimate fatique in welded connection

(OP)
I am struggling with a problem that is probably simple to solve for people designing weld connections on a regular basis…

I have a bracket (HSLA SAE 050XF steel) migwelded to a tube (CRS 1015) (one side of the bracket only). This connection is under cyclic loading of let’s say 50 lb for 100,000 cycles. (To rephrase: there is a rectangular cantilever welded to a support at the top only. A force at the end of the cantilever (50 lb) creates a bending moment in the welded connection; the force is applied 100,000 times.)

I would like to be able to estimate a torque that a “good” weld should sustain. Is there a simple method allowing to simulate this torque as a product of bending moment (static) and some kind of “fatigue coefficient”?

Thank you,
Oxana

I believe that there is an ISO document on fatigue design of welded joints - I think the number is 14347
