Abstract:

Based on the premise that fatigue and fracture control of most structures will be governed by the performance of weldments, this paper highlights the fatigue design and assessment methods available and used in construction industries. Brief reference is also made to fracture-avoidance measures. The main message is that these procedures, which are used successfully in a wide range of industries, are equally applicable to ships.
