Effect of water flow and depth on fatigue crack growth rate of underwater wet welded low carbon steel SS400

Underwater wet welding (UWW) is widely used in repair of offshore constructions and underwater pipelines by the shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) method. They are subjected the dynamic load due to sea water flow. In this condition, they can experience the fatigue failure. This study was aimed to det...
