Fatigue Fracture
There are a lot of methods for crack speed, Forman (1983) model is very accurate for researching fatigue fracture, the crack speed formula:
Kth p C (1 f ) K (1 ) da K K dN n (1 R) (1 )q (1 R)K c
n n
There are a lot of research methods for fracture. Two methods are used very often for welded structures: stress intensity factor (SIF) and strain energy density factor (SEDF). SIF: SEDF:

Fatigue Testing
Material experiment: Fatigue performance experiment of welded structure can be done by two methods: low frequency and high frequency.
Method:

Simulation
Numerical simulations are carried out using software of ANSYS and ABAQUS. The following two figures show the mesh structure and simulation results of a T-welded joint fixed at the two side edges of the bottom and subject to a uniform pressure on the top section of the vertical plate. In the simulations, the characteristic of geometry and material on the welded areas must be considered. Figure 6: Stress spectrum of High-speed train
Fatigue reliability of weld structure should be research. Fracture characteristic of welded structure must be research. Predict fatigue life should be research.
