Fatigue Analysis of Spot-Welded Joints using Finite Element Analysis Approach

This paper presents the technique of the fatigue analysis of spot-weld joints to predict the lifetime and location of the weakest spot-welds due to the imposed loading conditions. A simple model was used to illustrate the technique of spot-weld fatigue analysis. Finite element model and analysis w...
