Abstract
The paper gives results of fatigue tests of tee welded joints on steel 09G2S strengthened by the technology of high-frequency mechanical peening after accumulation of 50 % of fatigue damage under the impact of multistage and block loading with differing parameters before and after strengthening. It is established that utilisation of this technology allows increasing the level of stresses initially applied to such joints and extending their residual fatigue life.
