Abstract

The multiaxial fatigue behaviour of thin laser beam welded tube–tube specimens of the structural steel St35 was assessed according to the methodology of the fictitious weld root radius of r f=0.05 mm and the application of the Effective Equivalent Stress Hypothesis (EESH), especially considering the fatigue life reducing influence of out-of-phase loading in comparison to in-phase loading. The results are applicable for the fatigue design of laser beam welded car body and chassis structures of thin steel sheets ( t<3 mm).
