Fatigue life is a key concern in welded-steel frames for mobile equipment that experience large and varying dynamic loads. For engineers who design welded-steel structures subject to dynamic ...

The fatigue behaviour of welded joints remains a critical area of study due to its profound implications for the longevity and safety of infrastructure and industrial components. This research ...

Demkowicz, however, calculated that under certain conditions, metals should be able to weld shut cracks created by fatigue damage. “It proved difficult to come up with an experiment that could test my ...

It is important to remember that the fatigue life of welded structures is independent of material strength. In fact, in some cases, the higher-strength class A-514 proved to be less fatigue ...

It also offers guidance on inspection, quality control and training as well as assessments of fatigue strength and thickness effects possible with each technique. IIW recommendations on methods for ...

When the pipeline was constructed, a crack formed in a segment of the pipe that was welded to a fitting, TC Energy said in an analysis it submitted to federal regulators. Over time, the crack led ...
