This paper summarizes some recent results on fatigue evaluation of welded joints. A mesh-insensitive structural stress procedure was discussed and employed to characterize geometric stress raiser effects at welded joints. Existing weld fatigue data published in the open literature were analyzed using the structural stress parameter. Even though the fatigue data were from various industries, materials, and gauge thicknesses, the structural stress based interpretation of the existing data has demonstrated the following:
