Seeking light and transparent bridge designs, engineers and architects have found an efficient and artistic way to fulfill their requirements: steel tubular bridges. In these modern tubular truss bridges, welded K-joints have been shown to be critically su ...
The fabrication procedure changes when changing the size of the structural components. For the weldments, the change of the welding procedure leads to the change in residual stresses which consequently affects the fatigue life of the structure. The weld si ...
The biomedical industry has an increasing demand for dissimilar metal joining processes, which are used for complex configuration designs, such as guidewires and other intravascular interventional devices. Their production becomes more and more challenging ...
The aim of this thesis is to provide rational engineering methods for the fatigue safety examination of existing railway bridges. Increasing railway traffic loading and enhanced structural analysis allow for higher exploitation of the capacity of bridge el ...
In the design of tubular bridges, engineers have found the fatigue performance of the joints to be a critical aspect that may have a significant impact on the economic viability of these structures. In looking for ways of improving this performance, the us ...
Fatigue tests were carried out on welded circular hollow section K-joints typical to bridges. The tests specimens were large-scale (approximately 9 m long and 2 m high) trusses loaded in the plane of the truss. Measured member stresses showed that a signif ...
The promotion of tubular structures in bridge construction is a meaningful goal since these are aesthetic, lead to structurally efficient systems as well as sustainable ones. Good fatigue design of the tubular superstructure is a key factor to ensure safet ...
This article examines the extent to which post-weld treatment by needle peening can improve the fatigue performance of tubular truss bridges. To do this, the various potential crack sites on several variants of a typical bridge are analyzed using a probabi ...
In the design of tubular truss bridges, engineers have found the fatigue performance of the joints to be a critical aspect. In looking for ways to improve this performance, the use of residual stress-based post-weld treatments has been suggested. Although ...
A critical aspect in the design of tubular bridges is the fatigue performance of the structural joints. Economic viability depends on it. Lower fatigue strength for joints with thicker failing members was observed in welded joints typical to the bridge app ...
