3-Dimensional Observation of Fatigue Crack Propagation on Spot Welded Joints using High Strength Steel

In this study, in order to investigate the fatigue characteristics of the spot welded joints using the high strength steel, fatigue tests were conducted and internal fatigue crack behavior around the spot area was observed in detail. Test results showed that spot welded joints had the low fatigue st...
