Abstract
There is a need to better understand the stress singularity effect of welded joints with consideration of the geometrical factors that produce locally high stresses. Based on notch stress strength theory, this paper presents a simple method using the singularity strength 'as'for estimating the stress field distribution at the corner. Validity of this method is further verified by analyzing the stress results for a series of cruciform models. Finally, comparisons are made between the results of this modified method and the corresponding N-SIF formula. The results show that the proposed method has the additional advantage in simple and accurate stress estimation for welded joints. Key words:
