ABSTRACT:
A bracket structure resistant to fatigue and a process of making same are shown. The structure can be useful for conveyances such as parts of automobiles; it comprises: a first and a second member joined together at a junction and extending out therefrom to form a gap between the resulting diverging surfaces; and a stressed gusset spanning the gap, the gusset having a first contact surface abutting said first member and second contact surface abutting said second member, the first contact surface being affixed to said first member, the second contact surface being in vibration-dampening frictional contact with said second member due to the stress on said gusset. Steel members and a steel gusset are preferred, together with a plug-welded connection of the first contact surface to the first member.
