Welded High Strength Steel Structures


Book Description

Welded High Strength Steel Structures Understand the impact of fatigue on high strength steel joints with this comprehensive overview High strength steels are highly sought after for industrial and engineering applications ranging from armored vehicles to welded engineering components built to withstand considerable stress. The mechanical properties of welded joints made from high strength steel are integrally linked to the specific welding process, which can have an enormous impact on fatigue performance. Welded High Strength Steel Structures: Welding Effects and Fatigue Performance provides a comprehensive analysis of high strength steel joints and the ramifications of the welding process. It guides readers through the process of performing thermal analysis of high strength steel structures and evaluate fatigue performance in the face of residual stress. The result is a volume with innumerable use cases in engineering and manufacture. Welded High Strength Steel Structures readers will also find: An author with decades of experience in research and engineering Numerous studies of various classes of high strength steel joints Studies on tubular structures for welding residual stress Welded High Strength Steel Structures is a must-own for welding specialists, materials scientists, mechanical engineers, and researchers or industry professionals in related fields.




Fatigue Strength of Welded Structures


Book Description

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.
