Evolution and Numerical Prediction of Fatigue‐Controlled Regions in Bolted–Welded Joints of Steel Truss Bridges

Steel truss bridge nodes are prone to fatigue damage under long‐term cyclic loads due to their complex connection forms and significant stress concentrations, which may compromise the service safety of steel bridges. This study develops a three‐dimensional nonlinear refined finite element model for typical bolted and w...
