A parametric study on creep–fatigue strength of welded joints using the linear matching method.

Highlights: [•] The parametric study is implemented using the linear matching method and FEM. [•] Creep–fatigue strength of the steel AISI type 316N(L) weldments of types 1 and 2. [•] Function for cycles to failure is dependent on geometric parameters of weld profile. [•] Function for cycles to failure is dependent on dwell period and normalised moment. [•] Function for FSRF dependent on dwell period takes into account the effect of creep. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
