A Limit Load Solution for Anisotropic Welded Cracked Plates in Pure Bending

The present paper’s main objective is to derive a simple upper bound solution for a welded plate in pure bending. The plate contains a crack located in the weld. Both the weld and base materials are orthotropic. Hill’s quadratic yield criterion is adopted. The solution is semi-analytic. A numerical...
