I want to know about Nominal Stress method, Hot spot stress method, other methods that are used in Fatigue analysis of welded components. Can anyone share website or recommend any book that can provide in depth knowledge about this as apart from understanding these concepts, I want to use these methods in ANSYS as well ?

Thanks

I am not aware of any websites or books dedicated to simulation of welds.  HBK has a series of webinars available on their website.  You might try looking there.
