... laser cutting to produce welded square hollow-section T-joints with similar or higher fatigue strengths than their conventional mechanical cut counterparts. A total of 21 full-scale T-joint samples, typical of those found in the agricultural industry, were included in this study. Nineteen...

...Nur Syahroni; Stig Berge Residual stress may have a significant effect on the fatigue strength of welded joints. As a nonfluctuating stress, it has an effect similar to that of the mean stress. Recently the International Association of Ship Classification Societies (IACS) has issued Common...

...Jeom Kee Paik; Jung Min Sohn The primary objective of the present paper is to examine the effects of welding residual stresses on ultimate strength of high tensile steel plates under axial compression in terms of their magnitude and pattern. The ANSYS nonlinear finite element method is employed...

... from pile driving has been performed by probabilistic analysis based on: uncertainty with respect to dynamic cyclic stress during pile driving, and fatigue capacity of circumferential welds in piles. Accumulated probabilities of fatigue failures in pile butt welds are presented. An assessment...

...Inge Lotsberg The status on current design recommendations concerning the fatigue capacity of load carrying fillet welds was presented by Maddox ( Maddox, S., 2006, “Status Review on Fatigue Performance of Fillet Welds,” Proceedings of the OMAE Conference, Hamburg, Germany, Jun., Paper No. OMAE2006...

...Per R. M. Lindström An algorithm for heat transfer prediction of in-service welding operations in a forced flow of fluid is presented. The algorithm presented is derived from Rosenthal’s 3D heat flow equation and boundary layer approximations. This was possible by the introduction of an apparent...

...J. Efraín Rodríguez-Sánchez; Alejandro Rodríguez-Castellanos; Manuel F. Carbajal-Romero; Efrén Ayala-Uraga Application of controlled weld toe profiles can be considered an option to extend the fatigue life of welded connections when ongoing tankers are converted in dry docks to serve like offshore...

...Stephen J. Maddox This paper presents a critical review of current design methods, including their background and relevant experimental data, for assessing the fatigue performance of steel fillet welds with respect to failure in the weld throat. The main focus is on fillet or partial penetration...

...Stephen J. Maddox; Julian B. Speck; G. Reza Razmjoo Increasing deep-water oil and gas recovery has highlighted the need for high integrity, high fatigue performance girth welds in steel catenary riser systems. Such systems include girth welds made from one side. However, the widely used fatigue...

...Hiroyuki Motohashi; Naoto Hagiwara By conducting curved wide plate tensile tests for girth welded joints of X80 line pipe containing a surface notch in the weld metal, the effects of strength matching on fracture performance were evaluated. Parametric studies were also conducted using a finite...

...John Dalsgaard Sørensen; Jesper Tychsen; Jens Ulfkjær Andersen; Ronnie D. Brandstrup The fatigue strength of load-carrying fillet welds is, in most codes of practice, performed neglecting the influence of bending in the weld throat section. However, some commonly applied structural details give...
