Welded structures, such as welded pressure vessel components subjected to multiaxial cyclic loading, are particularly susceptible to fatigue damage. In this paper, a new path-length-based effective stress range is proposed to assess the fatigue life of weld joints under multiaxial fatigue loading. The path-length measure, a function of both normal and shear components on a critical crack plane, has a solid root in classic fracture mechanics and its application is validated by correlating nominal fatigue data including pure-bending, pure-torsion, in-phase, and out-of-phase loading. Path-Dependent Maximum Range (PDMR), a unique general-purpose fatigue life assessment package for multiaxial variable-amplitude loading, is introduced in this paper. Finally, the application of PDMR to multiaxial fatigue life assessment of complex loading cases is also discussed.
