Abstract

Thermoelastic stress analysis (TSA) is used to investigate the initiation and growth of cracks in large welded specimens under fatigue loading. The dimensions and weld geometries investigated are characteristic of those found in the ship building industry, and specimens that have different weld geometries and have undergone different peening treatments are examined. The application of such a technique in industrial situations is explored further by subjecting the specimen to conditions that are representative of those found in service or those that could be realistically applied during construction and assembly.
