Numerical investigation of the cope hole shape impact on fatigue life of welded joints in steel bridges

Holes in the bridge girders are usually made at the joint of strips. In most cases, they are made when there is a need to make double-sided butt welds and in order to avoid welds crossing. Size of the hole is selected in order to allow full penetration of the strips across their whole width and also...
