  text: <jats:p>Resistance spot‐welded joints containing press‐hardened steels are
    seen to exhibit a fracture mode called total dome failure, where the weld nugget
    completely separates from one steel sheet along the weld nugget edge. The effect
    of weld nugget shape and material property gradients is studied based on damage
    mechanics modeling and experimental validation to shed light on the underlying
    influencing factors. For a three‐steel‐sheet spot‐welded joint combining DP600
    (1.5 mm)–CR1900T (1.0 mm)–CR1900T (1.0 mm), experiments under shear loading reveal
    that fracture occurs in the DP600 sheet along the weld nugget edge. In subsequent
    numerical simulation studies with damage mechanics models whose parameters are
    independently calibrated for every involved material configuration, three variations
    of the geometrical joint configuration are considered—an approximation of the
    real joint, one variation with a steeper weld nugget shape, and one variation
    with a less pronounced gradient between weld nugget material and heat‐affected
    zone material properties. The results of the finite‐element simulations show that
    a shallower weld nugget and a more pronounced material gradient lead to a faster
    increase of plastic strain at the edge of the weld nugget and promote the occurrence
    of total dome failure.</jats:p>
