Influence of Weld-Porosity Defects on Fatigue Strength of AH36 Butt Joints Used in Ship Structures

Experimental tests were carried out to assess the fatigue strength of four types of welded joints, made of AH36 steel and used for ship structures. The joints differ for the presence of weld defects and for the thickness value. Fatigue tests were carried out applying axial cyclic loads at a frequenc...
