3D evaluation of stress concentration factor and stress intensity factor of welded joints

In this study a coupling scheme of finite elements to boundary elements is implemented for solving any general cracked problems. For the structural analysis of any tubular welded joints with an initial crack, it is well-known that it is time consuming to use finite element method to prepare the mesh...
