In this paper, main influencing parameters and effect of burr grinding technique on the fatigue strength for butt-welded, longitudinal welded, doubling plates, load-carrying transverse, non-load carrying transverse welded and T-joints as well as I-section with cope hole and out-of-plane longitudinal welds has been evaluated, based on the extracted 395 fatigue data points from 34 existing publications. The specimens used in these studies with yield strength 175 MPa < σYS <1100 MPa, which were tested with stress ratio -1 < R < 0.5, are analyzed and assessed with statistical methods. The assumed value of S-N slope m = 4 and proposed FAT classes seem to be applicable for the extracted data. More experimental testing is needed to draw the conclusion more exactly.enhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/IngenieurwissenschaftenBachelor Thesis10.15480/882.353110.15480/882.3531Braun, MoritzMoritzBraunOther
