Figure 29: Maps of fatigue crack initiation probabilities (Result from Gregoire Leclerc) Again, there is no detail category at 20 MPa, but this weld is better than the cuts previously presented in 4.2 and 4.3. The features are acceptable and never present pathology because the stress level is actually low at this place. The V-shaped cut is completely unnecessary for fatigue and penalises certain companies for a very frequent weld with an unnecessary complication.
