Effect of location and dimensions of welded cover plate on stress intensity factors of cracked plates

Three dimensional finite element model was utilized to determine mode I stress intensity factor through the front of a single edge crack in main plate with welded cover plate. The numerical results showed that the ratio of the crack length to the position of the welded cover plate end is a crucial p...
