Abstract
The fatigue growth rates of surface cracks in welded joints subjected to uniaxial and biaxial loads are studied for two common types of pres sure vessel steels. The equations of crack growth rates with survival probabilities equal to 50% and 97.73% are developed. The effect of lat eral load on fatigue growth rate is discussed. The rate of fatigue cra ck growth in welded joints is compared with those of parent materials. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd.
