Abstract

Abstract A series of fatigue tests on slender web plates, subjected to combined membrane and secondary bending stresses, is described. Results of the tests are presented and analysed, with particular emphasis on the complex state of stress at the welded web flange and web stiffener boundaries, and appropriate S-N relationships for predicting fatigue life.
