2. 1. Fatigue Analysis of Welded Structures Using the Finite Element Method

   Author : Mustafa Aygül; Chalmers University of Technology; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hot spot stress; effective notch stress; the finite element method; orthotropic bridge deck; welded details;

   Abstract : Fatigue design and analysis of steel and composite bridges is generally based on the notion of the nominal stress using the classified S-N curves with corresponding fatigue classes for typical details. Such an approach can yield unrealistic the estimation of the load effects for structure components because of an ever increasing number of structural details and loading situations resulting in a limited number of possible treatable design cases.

4. 2. Fatigue evaluation of welded details – using the finite element method

   Author : Mustafa Aygül; Chalmers University of Technology; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; the finite element method; welded details; effective notch stress method; Hot-spot stress method; fracture mechanics;

   Abstract : The fatigue evaluation of welded details is generally based on the notion of nominal stress, using the classified S-N curves with corresponding fatigue classes for typical details. An approach of this kind should be used with extra caution to ensure that the load effects for components are accurately captured, because an ever-increasing number of welded details are resulting in a limited number of possible treatable design cases.

5. 3. Direct Calculation of Wave-Induced Loads and Fatigue Damage of Container Vessels

   Author : Zhiyuan Li; Chalmers University of Technology; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; NATURAL SCIENCES; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fatigue; stress concentration factor; direct calculation; Container ship; fatigue routing; wave-induced torsion.; extreme loading; nonlinear wave loads;

   Abstract : Container ships and their rules for fatigue design are in several ways differentcompared with other types of commercial ships such as tankers and bulk carriers. Forexample, most modern container ships have a pronounced bow flare and an overhangstern. READ MORE

6. 4. Multi-axial fatigue of welded details

   Author : Mathias Bokesjö; Chalmers University of Technology; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Welds and welded joints are nowadays very common in steel structures. Since thewelded parts also are susceptible to fatigue, they can have a major influence on thetotal life of the structure. READ MORE

7. 5. Probabilistic modeling of fatigue failures

   Author : Kristoffer Karlén; Mårten Olsson; Gary Marquis; KTH; []
   Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Fatigue is a well known failure mode in engineering that can have catastrophic consequences, such as loss of human life. Thus design against fatigue failure is very important. There are many sources of scatter present in fatigue, for instance; the difference in load in-between users of a product, material scatter and scatter in the production. READ MORE
