The 4R method was used to re-analyze the data points considering material strength, residual stress, applied stress ratio, and weld toe radius. The use of the 4R method, instead of local fatigue strength assessment approaches, enabled residual stresses to be taken into consideration and accurately predicted the fatigue strength of joints in the as-welded and post-weld-treated conditions, including grinding and combined grinding and peening methods.en0142-112320214R methodFatigueGrindingPeeningWelded jointJournal Article10.1016/j.ijfatigue.2020.105916Other
