Fatigue Life Prediction of Notched Details Using SWT Model and LEFM-Based Approach

The fatigue crack initiation life of unwelded steel components accounts for the majority of the total fatigue life, and the accurate prediction of it is of vital importance. In this study, a numerical model utilizing the extended finite element method (XFEM) and Smith–Watson–Topper (SWT) model is es...
