Fatigue life assessment of thin-walled welded joints under non-proportional load-time histories by the shear stress rate integral approach by A. Bolchoun, C. M. Sonsino, H. Kaufmann, T. Melz

“…Since magnesium welds show a fatigue life reduction under out-of-phase loads, a stress-based method, which takes this behavior into account, is proposed. The out-of-phase loading results in rotating shear stress vectors in the section planes, which are not orthogonal to the surface. …”
