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

   Author : Mustafa Aygül; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; 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.

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

   Author : Mustafa Aygül; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   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.

5. 3. Fatigue of steel bridges : New structural details and the implementation of high strength steel

   Author : Oskar Skoglund; John Leander; Raid Karoumi; Alain Nussbaumer; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; high strength steel; fatigue; steel bridges; steel and concrete composite bridges; new structural details; linear elastic fracture mechanics; effective notch stress method; nominal stress method; Structural Engineering and Bridges; Bro- och stålbyggnad;

   Abstract : The use of high strength steel has the potential to reduce the amount of steel used in bridge structures and thereby facilitate a more sustainable construction. The amount of steel and what steel grade that can be used in bridge structures and other cyclic loaded structures are often limited by a material degradation process called fatigue. READ MORE

6. 4. Computational weld mechanics - Increased accuracy in fatigue assessment, distortion and residual stress analysis

   Author : Jinchao Zhu; Zuheir Barsoum; Mansoor Khurshid; Rami Mansour; Heikki Remes; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Computational weld mechanics; fatigue assessment; weld distortion; residual stress; Farkostteknik; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering;

   Abstract : This thesis work is concerned with the mechanical response of welded steel structures, which are distortions, residual stresses, and fatigue. The accuracy of fatigue assessment, distortion and residual stress analysis using Computational weld mechanics (CWM) is focused. READ MORE

7. 5. Improving fatigue properties of welded high strength steels

   Author : Ebrahim Harati; Lars-Erik Svensson; Leif Karlsson; Norbert Enzinger; Högskolan Väst; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fatigue strength; Residual stress; Welds; Weld toe geometry; High strength steel; High frequency mechanical impact treatment; Low Transformation Temperature welding consumable; Manufacturing and materials engineering; Produktions- och materialteknik; Production Technology; Produktionsteknik;

   Abstract : In recent years a strong interest has been expressed to produce lighter structures.One possible solution to reduce the weight is to utilize high strength steels and use welding as the joining method. READ MORE
