THE FATIGUE DESIGN OF STEEL STRUCTURES
High Frequency Mechanical Impact (HFMI) is a reliable, effective and user-friendly method for improving the fatigue strength of welded structures. The method relies on local modification of critical regions in welded joints. In addition to the modification of weld toe geometry (which is solely what other more traditional methods rely on), HFMI induces high local compressive stresses at critical crack initiation sites which results in substantial enhancement of fatigue strength.
