Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The key to avoidance of fatigue, which is the main cause of service failures, is good design. In the case of welded joints, which are particularly susceptible to fatigue, design rules are available. However, their effective use requires a good understanding of fatigue and an appreciation of problems concerned with their practical application. Fatigue strength of welded structures has incorporates up-to-date design rules with high academic standards whilst still achieving a practical approach to the subject. The book presents design recommendations which are based largely on those contained in recent British standards and explains how they are applied in practice. Attention is also focused on the relevant aspects of fatigue in welded joints which are not yet incorporated in codes thus providing a comprehensive aid for engineers concerned with the design or assessment of welded components or structures. Background information is given on the fatigue lives of welded joints which will enable the engineer or student to appreciate why there is such a contrast between welded and unwelded parts, why some welded joints perform better than others and how joints can be selected to optimise fatigue performance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fatigue assessment is one of the significant factors to be considered for a design life of structure and estimation of structural reliability during operation. Especially, for welded structures, various welding effects, such as stress concentration, residual stresses, weld geometry and weld quality, make the structure more vulnerable to fatigue failures. This requires more effective approaches for estimating fatigue performances of welded structures.Existing classical methods to predict the crack propagation under cyclic loadings have some difficulties in treating complicated patterns of crack growth. A peridynamic theory, however, has powerful advantage on discontinuities. A peridynamic fatigue model, which is a bond damage model of remaining life, is used to demonstrate two phases of fatigue failure, crack nucleation and crack growth. Two types of numerical tests are conducted to validate the peridynamic fatigue model. One is tensile test for the phase of crack nucleation and the other is compact tension test for the phase of crack growth. All results from numerical tests are compared with experimental test data to validate the peridynamic fatigue model.After validation of peridynamic fatigue model, numerical tests with peridynamic fatigue model are performed to investigate a weld effect of the length of unwelded zone on the fatigue performance of load-carrying fillet welded joint. Numerical results of fatigue performance and path of fatigue crack growth are compared with existing experimental data.In this thesis, the peridynamic fatigue model is validated by two different fatigue tests which are uniaxial tension-compression tests for the crack nucleation and ASTM E647 standard compact tests for the crack growth. After validation, the fatigue performance of the fillet welded joint is estimated with respect to the length of unwelded zone by simulating the fatigue crack growth under cyclic load conditions with the peridynamic fatigue model.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fatigue is a mechanism of failure which involves the formation and growth of cracks under the action of repeated stresses. Ultimately, a crack may propagate to such an extent that total fracture of the member may occur. To avoid fatigue it is essential to design the structure with inherent fatigue strength. However, fatigue strength for variable amplitude loading is not a constant material property and any calculations are necessarily built on a number of assumptions. Cumulative damage of welded joints explores the wealth of research in this important field and its implications for the design and manufacture of welded components.After an Introduction, chapter two introduces the constant amplitude database, which contains results obtained in test conditions and which forms the basis of the basic S-N curves for various types of joint. Chapter three discusses the influence of residual stresses which can have a marked effect on fatigue behaviour. Chapter four explores variable amplitude loading and the problem of how information from laboratory tests, obtained under constant amplitude conditions, can be applied to the design of structures for service conditions. This problem is further investigated in the next chapter which is devoted to two and three level load testing. Chapters six, seven and eight look at the influence that the variety of variable loading spectra can have on fatigue strength, whether narrow or wide band loading or cycles of small stress range. Taking all of this knowledge, chapter nine discusses structure designs.Cumulative damage of welded joints is a comprehensive source of invaluable information for welding engineers, supervisors, inspection personnel and designers. It will also be of great interest for academics working in the fields of structural and mechanical engineering. - Covers the wealth of research in the field of fatigue strength and its role in the design and manufacture of welded components - Invaluable reference source for welding engineers, supervisors, inspection personnel and designers

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is the result of a major study on the influence of both main plate thickness and of attachment size on the fatigue strength of joints with transverse non-load-carrying fillet welds. In particular, it defines the extent to which the size of the attachment might influence the thickness effect in such joints. Through a whole range of different tests, the study confirms that the present thickness effect correction for certain types of joint is too severe.

This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fatigue is one of the major causes of failure in cyclically loaded structures such as, bridges, locomotive parts, rotating machinery components, etc. Welded structures are common in ship building. These welded structures are subjected to fluctuating loads in offshore environment, which requires proper attention for fatigue failure in the design phase of such structures. Although, lab tests can be conducted for concerned materials under controlled environmental conditions, but it is a cost and time intensive approach, and is not always possible. A number of assessments have been carried out over the years for a number of common structural configurations to standardize the design for fatigue and make it less cost-intensive. However, the amount of established standards is still very small relative to the number of possible design configurations. Hence, there is a constant need for numerical models which aim at estimating the fatigue life without the need for tests to be conducted. Crack Propagation is one of the established numerical approaches used for assessing remaining fatigue life of structures which are already in service. This approach is based on the assumption of an initial crack already existing in the structure, and consequently, the remaining fatigue life is considered to be dominated by crack propagation stage. The same can be considered true for welded structures, where weld imperfections and weld gaps act as micro-cracks and the service life of such structures can be considered to be dominated by crack growth stage. This study aims at evaluating the ability of crack propagation approach to predict the fatigue life of fillet welded joints. For this purpose, a numerical simulation tool called Franc2D is used to calculate the stress intensity factors (SIF) from 2D models. These values along with other factors are used as inputs for Paris and Erdogan Law to predict the fatigue life of load carrying and non-load carrying fillet welds. These results are then compared to the lab test results and the conclusions are drawn.
