Fatigue references and training
Fatigue references and training
(OP)
Hi all.
There is a multitude of fatigue information out there. However, can you guys suggest references (articles, texts, standards) that are clearly explained and user friendly? We are looking at stress-life methods, using AWS D1.1 or Eurocode 9. EC9, by the way, is not user friendly.
What I find lacking are actual worked out examples that include FE results and the transfer from FE results to calculated damage. Most of these techniques are documented in company manuals but we don't have any.
Structures we work on are typically railcars, so large weldments in various types of metal. Many fillet welds, groove welds, resistance spot welds.
I realize this is a huge field without a simple answer, but examples would sure help.

A number have FEA input.

Also look for IIW documents

I'll check it out - thanks. BTW, in my haste to compose the OP, I confused EC3 Part 1-9, with EC9 Part 1-3. I am really looking at EC3 Part 1-9 (Steel structures, fatigue), so your reference is right on.

Whoa - lots of info there. I managed to get the 2007 version online.
