Abstract
The fatigue notch factor of short gaps or cracks in welded joints dete rmined by the notch stress approach with fictitious notch rounding is modified on the basis of theoretical relations for notch stresses and stress intensity factors. The accuracy of the derived correction facto rs is proven by application to a cruciform welded joint with short int ernal gaps. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
