butt joint

welded butt joint
butt joint formed by two boards
1. A plain, square joint between two members, where the contact surfaces are cut at right angles to the faces of the pieces; the two pieces are fitted squarely against each other rather than lapped; Also see oblique butt joint.

The same type of calculations and evaluations as described above for butt welds were also carried out for cruciform joints.
This was done in order to maintain some consistency with the calculations for butt welds, and to assure that [k.sub.m,eff,min] did not become relevant in all cases.
The fatigue life predictions in Figure 13 to 15 confirm and reinforce the findings of section 4, valid for butt welds. For cruciform joints, it is again apparent that the various methods lead to significantly diverging fatigue life predictions.
In this paper, a study was presented in which two standard welded joints (butt welds between plates of equal and unequal thickness; T-joints with fillet welds) were analysed with the help of the structural stress and the effective notch stress approach, considering various levels of geometric imperfection up to the tolerance limits, and the resulting fatigue life predictions were compared to the nominal stress approach predictions.
