...). The identification and usage of appropriate crack growth parameters is also essential for the estimation of fatigue life of welded joints. Recommendations regarding the parameters to use in LEFM-based fatigue crack propagation models are specified in industrial standards (BS7910, 2015; Hobbacher, 2016; ABS, 2018...

The detail categories (DC) of EN 1993-1-9 (2005), which are defined as the reference value of the fatigue strength at two million load cycled in N/mm², are nearly the same as the FAT-classes according IIW (Hobbacher, 2006...
