Finite element-based fatigue life prediction of a load-carrying cruciform joint

The aim of this study is to determine the stress intensity factor (SIF) and fatigue lifecycle of load-carrying 6 mm-thick fillet-welded cruciform joints subjected to fatigue loading conditions by means of finite element analysis (FEA). These joints are typical of automotive structures such as the mi...
