Title
An estimation of integrity of a welded structure regarding constraint
Acronym
Gubeljak
|
The strength mis-match and current width of weld joint have an effect on the stress-strain distribution in the vicinity of the crack tip. Both can contribute to a higher constraint in the weld metal. This could be the important reason for the difference between the measured critical values of fracture toughness obtained by the testing of specimens and welded structures. The aim and purpose of this project is to establish the correction terms for the width of weld joints by considering the different strength mis-matches. Additionally, an application of the correction terms for the engineering approaches to the safe service of welded structures will be performed.
