Abstract
Thermoelastic stress analysis has been developed in recent years as a direct method of investigating the crack tip stresses in a structure under cyclic loading. This is a consequence of the fact that stress intensity factors obtained from thermoelastic experiments are determined from the cyclic stress field ahead of a fatigue crack, rather than inferred from measurement of the crack length and load range. In the present paper the results of fatigue crack growth tests performed on welded ferritic steel plates are reported. From the results it can be observed that the technique is sensitive to the effects of crack closure and the presence of tensile and compressive residual stresses due to welding.
