download PDFAbstract. The paper presents the results of crack development in specimens welded from S355 steel under bending and torsional loading. Welded joints, as a method of inseparable joining of technical structures, are commonly used in many areas of human activity. The aim of the study was to analyse the influence of the shape of concave and convex fillet joints on the development of fatigue cracks. The experimental tests (fatigue tests) were performed with the use of the fatigue machine MZGS-100, at a constant amplitude of the moment Ma = 9.20 N·m, and the stress ratio R = – 1 with a load frequency of 28.4 Hz.
