Thanks to all the new contributors!
I actually remembered incorrectly and the peak stress was in the (350-530) MPa region, albeit quite local and far from welds, sorry about that.
@GregLocock I was referencing, as I assume, the ubiquitous understanding of the "infinite life" as exceeding the...
Thanks for the answers!
I sort of expected that it's hard to quantify this. I know the basic thory behind it but it's hard to justify or forgo the calculations.
In this case it's a heavy, high strength steel (650 MPa yield point) structure loaded in one dirction a couple of houndred times a...
Hi everyone,
I have just joined (although I've been using the knowledge here for a few years already).
I've got a very short question necessitated by wildely differing approaches that have appeared at my job (by two analysts). One has compiled a report focusing on fatigue calculations only...
