ÖNORM EN 1999-1-3|Fatigue

EN 1999-1-3 gives the basis for the design of aluminium alloy structures with respect to the limit state of fatigue induced fracture. Design for other limit states is covered in EN 1999-1-1. EN 1999-1-3 gives rules for design by three methods.

This standard covers:

  • beams braced and unbraced framed structures,
  • latticed structures,
  • stiffened plate structures of flat or shell construction and
  • solid bodies.

Not covered are pressurised containment vessels, or pipework.

EN 1999-3 covers the following open and hollow sections made of aluminium:

  • rolled sections,
  • extrusions,
  • drawn tubes,
  • formed profiles,
  • forgings and
  • castings.

The following joining methods are covered:

  • arc welding,
  • fastening with threaded components,
  • riveting and
  • adhesive bonding.

EN 1999-1-3 covers structural applications exposed to normal atmospheric conditions and temperatures not exceeding +100 °C, including marine environments, except for adhesively bonded joints where the temperature limits apply to the range -20 °C to + 60 °C. For aluminium alloy 5083 the data apply to maximum temperatures not exceeding 65 °C. Fatigue strength data are not applicable to parts of the structure exposed to environments which are aggressively corrosive to the materials concerned.
