This study addresses the research by investigating the applicability of local fatigue assessment methods to welded joints exposed to sub-zero temperatures. For this purpose, fatigue test results of two fillet weld details with weld toe and weld root failure are evaluated at a range of temperatures using a variety of structural hot-spot and notch stress approaches, then are compared to the nominal stress approach. Large differences in prediction accuracy are found for the analysed assessment methods and both failure locations.en0142-1123International journal of fatigue2020Effective notch stressFatigue assessment methodsFinite elementsLow temperature fatigueStructural hot spot stressApplication of local approaches to the assessment of fatigue test results obtained for welded joints at sub-zero temperaturesJournal Article10.1016/j.ijfatigue.2020.105672Other
