Abstract

Large-scale fatigue testing of welded components is required under certain circumstances. These tests are expensive and time-consuming and hence need special care in their preparation and performance. This document is intended as a best practice guide for such tests. Aspects considered are model design and manufacture, preparation and performance of the test and evaluation of the results. Special measures needed for corrosion fatigue testing are also covered.
