In real structures, multi-spot welded joints are more frequently used than a single-spot welded joint. Most researches, however, have been focused to a single-spot welded joint until now. In this paper, the fatigue behavior of multi-spot welded joints are investigated using the finite element solutions of the multi-spot welded specimens. The local strain approach is used rather than the stress intensity factor approach to estimate the fatigue life since the former is quite simple and straightforward. It is found that the fatigue behavior of multi-spot welded joints is different from that of single-spot welded joints. The local strain approach is still applicable to multi-spot welded joints.

In real structure, multi-point spot welded joints are more frequently used than a single-point spot welded joint. Most researches, however, have been focused to a single-point spot welded joint until now. In this paper, the fatigue behavior of multi-point spot welded joints are investigated both experimentally and analytically using the finite elements. The local strain approach is used rather than the stress intensity factor approach to estimate the fatigue life since the former is quite simple and straightforward. It is found that the fatigue behavior of multi-point spot welded joints is different from that of single-point spot welded joints. The local strain approach is still applicable to multi-point spot welded joints.

최근의 산업사회에서 각종 구조물접합 등에서 점용접의 사용이 점차 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 점용접은 전기저항용접(Resistance Welding)의 한 분야로 가압 효과에 의하여 용접 후의 금속 조직이 양호하고, 변형과 잔류응력이 모재에 미치는 영향 등이 타 용접 방법에 비하여 적은 것으로 알려져 있어 주로 박판의 이음 중 리벳 조인트를 대신하고 있다.(중략)
