  • Abstract
    The work presented in this paper utilises a numerical analysis for the computation of stress concentration factor generated by the presence in the weld nugget of a pore formed during the welding process. Welded structure containing porosity is subjected to uniaxial tensile stress. The effects of geometrical parameters of the pore and the interaction pore-defect on the stress concentration factor variation have been analyzed.
