  2. 1. Application of high-frequency mechanical impact treatment for fatigue strength improvement of new and existing bridges

    Author : Hassan al-Karawi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Corrosion; Bridges; Fatigue; Crackdetection; HFMI; Finiteelement; Steel; Lifeextension; Post-weldtreatment; Variableampli- tude;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the application of High-Frequency Mechanical Impact (HFMI) treatment for fatigue strength improvement of weldments in existing and new bridges. In the former case, the welds have already been subjected to fatigue loading and accumulated damage before treatment. READ MORE

  4. 2. Performance of high-frequency mechanical impact treatment for bridge application

    Author : Poja Shams Hakimi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fatigue; bridge; LEFM; HFMI; thickness effect; size effect; steel;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the performance of high-frequency mechanical impact (HFMI) treatment for implementation on new bridge designs. Fatigue strength improvement with HFMI can enable lightweight design of bridges and allow the utilisation of the benefits of high-strength steels. READ MORE

  5. 3. Fatigue life extension in existing steel bridges. High-Frequency Mechanical Impact treatment and Tungsten Inert Gas remelting in life extension and fatigue crack repair of welded steel structures

    Author : Hassan al-Karawi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HFMI; TIG-dressing; Life extension; Post weld treatment; Gain factor; Linear elastic fracture mechanics; Crack retrofiting; Peening; fatigue crack; Crack detection; Microhardness; Concentration factor; LEFM; TIG-remelting; Strain gauge;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the performance of improved welds with two post-weld treatment methods for application on existing structures. High-Frequency Mechanical Impact (HFMI) treatment and Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) remelting were used for fatigue life extension of welded structures. READ MORE

  6. 4. Fatigue improvement of steel bridges with high-frequency mechanical impact treatment

    Author : Poja Shams Hakimi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HFMI; thickness effect; bridge; steel; variable amplitude; fatigue;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the performance of fatigue-improved welds with high-frequency mechanical impact (HFMI) for application on new bridges. Fatigue strength improvement with HFMI can enable lightweight design of bridges and allow the utilisation of the benefits of high-strength steels. READ MORE

  7. 5. Static and fatigue analyses of welded steel structures : some aspects towards lightweight design

    Author : Mansoor Khurshid; Zuheir Barsoum; Lars-Erik Lindgren; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fatigue strength; welded joints; static strength; high strength steel; Farkostteknik; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering; Aerospace Engineering; Flyg- och rymdteknik;

    Abstract : The objectives of this thesis comprise of overcoming the challenges in designing lightweight welded structures such as material selection, choice of fatigue design methods, and increased performance by using improvement techniques. Material selection of welded joints is dependent on the filler and base material strengths. READ MORE
