A Numerically Efficient Method to Assess the Elastic–Plastic Strain Energy Density of Notched and Imperfective Cast Steel Components

The fatigue strength of cast steel components is severely affected by manufacturing process-based bulk and surface imperfections. As these defect structures possess an arbitrary spatial shape, the utilization of local assessment methods is encouraged to design for service strength. This work applies...
