The Fatigue Life Prediction of Welded Joints in Orthotropic Steel Bridge Decks Considering Weld-Induced Residual Stress and Its Relaxation Under Vehicle Loads

The welded joints in steel bridges have a complicated structure, and their fatigue life is mainly determined by the real stress under the coupling effect of vehicle load stress, as well as weld-induced residual stress and its relaxation. Traditional fatigue analysis methods are inadequate for effect...
