Recent rapid advances in mesh-insensitive structural stress procedures are summarized in this report. In addition to their effectiveness in reliably calculating structural stresses for both simple weld details and complex structures, the mesh-insensitive structural stress procedure provides an effective mean for drastically simplifying stress intensity factor solutions for welded joints, by extending the structural stress definition for characterizing notch effects at welds. The results achieved so far and significant implications are summarized below:
