fatigue

EK680

For fatigue loading, the shear resistance for adhesion must be halved.

EK619

In structures subject to a very large number of cycles of fluctuating load, typically at least 100000 load applications, failure may occur by the continued growth of cracks in the […]

EK426

From the point of view of resistance to fatigue, fillet welds are inferior to butt welds. This is because there exists both an abrupt change in the direction of the […]

EK425

In structures or members subjected to fatigue butt welds are not permitted.

EK132

Compressive stresses do not cause fatigue.

EK131

High-cycle fatigue is only a design consideration when a large number of loading cycles involving tensile stresses is likely to occur during the design life of the structure.

EK130

Structural steel may fracture at low average tensile stresses after a large number of cycles of fluctuating load. This high-cycle fatigue failure is initiated by local damage caused by the […]
