What is it about?
The initial crack length (a i) was assumed to be equal to 0.1 mm in case of weld toe. This length was satisfactory for different butt joints geometries.

Why is it important?
Determine the initial crack length that influence on fatigue life. Also, Benchmarking result has been presented.
Perspectives
The simulation using Franc2d presented the validate results regarding the crack Propagation.
