Where do cracks caused by pipeline vibration generally occur?

Where do cracks caused by pipeline vibration generally occur? Is it generally started from the outside or from the inside, or are the probabilities of both equal? Thank you!
It occurs at the junction of the branch pipes.
Have you seen similar vibrations? Could you share the picture, if you have one? Thank you!
It occurs in weak areas, such as welds
It usually occurs first in weak areas, such as substandard welds and areas where friction is present~~
It generally occurs at the weld area; I recently heard that the weld of a pressure gauge connector in one facility cracked due to prolonged vibration.

Is the probability the same for butt welds, circumferential welds, longitudinal welds, and corner welds?
The weld joints of pressure gauges are fillet welds, which are prone to cracking, but it is rare to hear of butt welds cracking due to vibration.
