Fatigue crack growth analysis of welded bridge details
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper investigates the fatigue crack growth in typical bridge weldments by means of numerical analysis. extended finite element (XFEM) method is coupled with low-cycle (LCF) approach ABAQUS, and parametric analyses are carried out order to assess influence main sample/testing features on life investigated structures. results found be robust reliable performing comparisons past experimental data regulation design correlations.

Stochastic Analysis of Fatigue Crack Growth
Due to cost and time limitations, experiments for fatigue crack growth are only feasible below certain cycle numbers. In this paper, it is investigated whether or not fatigue crack growth laws allow for an extrapolation of the statistics of the cycle number to reach a certain crack length from limited experimental data, and hence reduce costs.
متن کاملFuzzy Regression Analysis for Fatigue Crack Growth
This paper presents a method based on fuzzy regression to analyze fatigue crack growth data, where the variations of the parameters are not only due to measurement errors but also system errors. A membership function is used to describe the system errors. Crack growth data under constant and random amplitude stress are analyzed and the results are compared with conventional least-squares regres...
متن کاملFatigue Crack Detection and Sizing in Welded Steel Structures
The paper gives an outline of the non-destructive evaluation (NDE) methods currently being pursued at the Admiralty Marine Technology Establishment, Dunfermline, Scotland. The methods are being used to locate and characterise fatigue cracks in high yield strength welded steel structures. The techniques have been applied principally to large fatigue models (5' and 9' diameter) as part of a compr...
متن کاملFatigue Life Prediction for Welded Joints with Known Initial Crack
The inspection of various structures often detects a fatigue cracks developed during long service life. These fatigue cracks significantly reduce remaining fatigue life and fatigue strength. Influence of the initial fatigue cracks size in non-load-carrying fillet-welded one-sided transverse attachment joints on the remaining fatigue life and fatigue strength is considered in this paper. A compu...
متن کاملProbabilistic model for fatigue crack growth and fracture of welded joints in civil engineering structures
This paper presents a probabilistic assessment model for linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM). The model allows the determination of the failure probability of a structure subjected to fatigue loading. The distributions of the random variables for civil engineering structures are provided, and the relative importance of these random variables is determined. An example of a bridge detail is ...
