We investigated the effect of load frequency using thermoelastic finite element (FE) analysis on a gusset welded joint specimen commonly used in welded structures. To simulate the thermoelastic effect, we developed a stress field-temperature field thermoelastic FE analysis technique that calculates the heat transfer of heat generation and heat absorption according to compression and tensile stress. The calculated stress distribution showed a good agreement with thermoelastic stress distribution measured using an infrared ray method. The result implies that the developed technique is effective in reproducing the thermoelastic effect. In the case of a load frequency of 1 Hz, a small gradient of temperature distribution appeared. Therefore, when applying the thermoelastic method to the stress concentration field, it is important to consider the influence of the load frequency.
