title = "On the multiaxial fatigue of weldments: Experimental results, design code and critical plane approaches",
abstract = "A survey of biaxial (bending or tension and torsion) constant amplitude fatigue of welded connections is presented. 233 experimental results from eight different studies are analysed based on hot spot stresses and three potential damage parameters: maximum principal stress range, maximum shear stress range, and a modified critical plane model for welds. Of the three methods, the critical plane model was most successful in resolving the data to a single S-N line. Significant scatter, however, still exists due to differences in specimen geometries, test methods, and plate thicknesses.",
