Abstract
Using the finite element code ABAQUS to make numerical predictions, this paper studies the crack shape development and thickness effects on a series of welded plate T-joint fatigue specimens. It was found that redistribution of the residual stress only occurs in a small region near the weld toe, the extent depending greatly on the magnitude of the applied load.Keywords
