Numerical Simulation on Crack–Inclusion Interaction for Rib-to-Deck Welded Joints in Orthotropic Steel Deck

Weld defects such as porosity, inclusion, burn-through, and lack of penetration are difficult to detect and control effectively in an orthotropic steel deck (OSD), which will be a fatigue crack initiation site and lead to several fatigue cracking. The crack growth behavior in defective welded joints...
