1. A Framework for optimised welding of fatigue loaded structures : Applied to gas metal arc welding of fillet welds
Abstract : Welding is a key process for heavy steel structures, but it is also a weak link in the structure since fatigue fractures in welds are a common cause of failure. This thesis proposes several changes in order to improve the fatigue properties in acost effective way, enabling reduced weight and reduced cost of welded structures. READ MORE

2. Welding of Heavy Structures Subjected to Fatigue
Abstract : Welding is a key process for heavy steel structures, but it is also a weak link of the structure since fatigue fractures in welds are a common cause for failures. This thesis proposes several changes in order to improve the fatigue properties in a cost effective way. READ MORE

3. Fatigue of Spot Welded Joints: Experiments and Life Predictions
Abstract : Methods to assess the fatigue strength of spot welds in built-up structures are used on a daily basis in the automotive industry. Efficient and reliable numerical methods make it possible to achieve designs with low weight, low manufacturing costs and good durability within short development cycles, since the number of prototypes built can be reduced.

4. Continuous Welded Railway Rails: Residual Stress Analyses, Fatigue Assessments and Experiments
Abstract : Railway rails are today often continuously welded. This type of joint generally requires less maintenance than is needed for the bolted joints. It has also reduced wheel damage and made the ride more comfortable. However, these joints are subject to damage. READ MORE

5. Fatigue and Fracture of High-Strength Steels : Improving Reliability in Strength Assessment
Abstract : Structural steel plays a fundamental role in the heavy industry, serving as a key material for numerous load-bearing products and equipment. Its widespread use is attributed to its robustness, resistance to wear, ease of use in construction, and cost-effectiveness. READ MORE
