Abstract
This paper proposes a new method for assessing the degree of the cumulative fatigue crack initiation damage of the joint welds at the guyed mast earplate. Based on the multi-scale wind-induced stress analysis of the guyed mast earplate joint, and considering the welding residual stress in earplate joint, the critical plane approach is used for the calculation of cumulative strain fatigue damage due to the combined actions of the welding residual stress and the wind load.
