Abstract
Three types of commonly used local stress approaches recognized by Codes and Standards for fatigue of welded joints are reviewed and evaluated with respect to a comprehensive collection of multi-axial fatigue test data available in literature. These local stress approaches are surface-extrapolated hot spot stress, effective notch stress and traction structural stress. The hot spot stress and notch stress approaches are based on those stipulated in Eurocode 3 (2005) and IIW Recommendations (2016). Traction structural stress is based mainly on ASME VIII Div 2 Code (2007) and its latest development. The results show traction structural stress method offers a significantly improved data correlation over hot spot stress and notch stress approaches.
