Abstract

A safety critical weld joining a central post to a cross member of a weight training leg press failed due to fatigue crack propagation from the fluctuating loads experienced in service. A comparative stress analysis carried out on the failed weight training leg press and a superficially similar leg press which had given satisfactory service revealed the very poor fatigue design of the failed leg press.
